I've pushed a fix for this and it will be in groff 1.23.  The
description above is a little bit garbled, confused once again with the
highly annoying but difficult-to-fix Savannah #62471.

The thrust of matters is that

.TS
| L.
foo
.TE

now behaves the same as

.TS
L |.
foo
.TE

and

.TS
L | L.
foo
.TE

with respect to vertical space above the table.

See the URL above for details.
