Yeah, I came across that too. I really dislike that check.

I just submitted an edit to your post and it worked perfectly. I don't understand why you are getting an error. All I did was remove the three ` from the start and end

Thanks for raising this. This is an issue with our code formatting detection, not with tables themselves but I totally see your point. Let's track the discussion around this bug over in your meta.SO post so we have it in one place. Cool?

I'm also getting this error with my answer, and I think the question poster had the same problem. I couldn't find a work around.
