The exclamation marks inside an internal link, when it's placed inside a <th>
(table header) cell, are parsed first as part of the table, instead of as part
of the link.
Since exclamation marks are allowed as page titles, the correct behavior should
be parse first the link and then the table structure. (like is done when a pipe
character is inserted inside a link or template that is inside a table)
So the first row in the example now renders as two cells, breaking the link.
The second row renders as one cell but also breaks the link (I don't know if
that's correct or not; I simply tried a workaround to that but failed). The
third row renders correctly, but it's tedious to do that, specially for people
that doesn't know that every character could be translated as a numerical
character reference. But, well, at least there's a way to do that!
