That depends a bit on what your definition of "(plugin) output" is.
Plugins certainly *can* shove pipe symbols out their stdout/stderr, but
(lacking any defined escaping) they'll never arrive in what Nagios
considers the "Plugin Output" (while extraneous pipes *will* appear in
the Performance Data).

That's correct as of 3.x. (Somebody please speak up if the upcoming 4.x
is going to change that.)

IIUC API changes wouldn't get applied until at least 4.1, so you might
want to simultaneously ask Gerhard for a fix in the plugin for the time
being.
