Sorry, I should have commented here too. #2616 is a different issue. I caught it while looking at this issue and wondering why one would use a markdown reader to read org-mode tables. The answer to this seems to be that the org mode reader makes things even worse.
I haven't spent much time on this, but it seems like the above hints at a bug in the markdown writer.

I am trying to use org-mode to write nice tables that I can use with pandoc and latex, so I end up converting pipe table in markdown to grid tables in markdown.
However, it seems that a blank link in a pipe table confuses markdown when converting to a grid table. Using pandoc 1.15.2.1, I start with the following MWE as test.md:
and run
pandoc test.md -t markdown-pipe_tables-simple_tables-multiline_tables
to obtain:where there are missing pipes for the second row.
