Using meta shortcode in a grid table creates an extra column

When I define the date-modified metadata in yaml header of quarto document, and use the {{< meta date-modified >}} in a grid table, an extra column is created to the right. It doesn't happen in regular markdown tables. It happens in several output formats I've tried (odt, docx, html, pdf).

Code to reproduce:

---
title: "Untitled"
date-modified: today
format: odt
---

This grid table with the date in plain text shows 2 columns as defined:

+-------------------+----------------------------+
| **Date created**  | 2021-07-12                 |
+-------------------+----------------------------+
| **Date modified** | 2024-06-19                 |
+-------------------+----------------------------+
: {tbl-colwidths="\[50,50\]"}


This grid table using the date-modified shortcode shows 3 columns instead of 2:

+-------------------+----------------------------+
| **Date created**  | 2021-07-12                 |
+-------------------+----------------------------+
| **Date modified** | {{< meta date-modified >}} |
+-------------------+----------------------------+
: {tbl-colwidths="\[50,50\]"}

Start with the supplied Quarto document and compare the grid-table case using the meta shortcode with the plain-text and regular Markdown table cases. Check the generated ODT, DOCX, HTML, and PDF outputs; the work is done when the shortcode renders inside the existing cell without creating a third column.
