Isn't that because it isn't clear this way where the verticals should 
go? If I fill three positions with e.g. "center" indications (for 
example as in: {c|c|c}, or as in: {||ccc} ), the verticals are 
positioned unambiguously and LaTeX does not complain.
Or is this trivial and is your question about something much more arcane?
