At a question just now the user was having trouble with the table he formatted not appearing correctly in the finished solution view.

It's not rendering! But it looks like it should work ok

I don't know where to check for these reports first other than this meta, so I guess I'll get the ball rolling here.

    $\begingroup$ Maybe one could check posts tagged markdown-preview+tables on Meta Stack Exchange to see whether some of the bug reports there might help explain this. $\endgroup$

Adding an extra empty line after the colon has fixed the problem. I am not sure why this works but have seen this before.

Dietrich's suggestion in the comments also got me to a more central post at meta:

Markdown table preview does not detect missing blank line before table header
