the meaning of ~ chances inside a table and the last pages are flushed when the 
table is already typeset; a solution is:

\let\normalactivetilde~
\let\normalactivebar  |

\appendtoks\let~\normalactivetilde\to\everypagebody
\appendtoks\let|\normalactivebar  \to\everypagebody

another solution is to set the meaning of ~ at the table cell level; you may add 
that to the wiki as a feature reaquest -)
