Nope.  It is a LinuxDoc SGML entity, and the conversion kept it
wherever it was used, since it's also an ISO entity.  You're probably
right that the entity does not occur in the file (nsgmls does not
transform `&verbar;' into `|'; the conversion did not), but LinuxDoc
SGML used maps, one of which contained the mapping from `|' to
`&verbar;'.  The rest of the story we know.
