It only steals one character--"{"--and at that, only at the beginning of a paragraph. Not bad if you ask me (not that you did), 'cause I don't think there are so many paragraphs in Wikipedia starting with a curly bracket. It does "steal" the other characters you mention, plus the exclamation mark I suggested, at the beginning of a paragraph *within* a table. But one you open a table, you're aware those are mandatory, so no worries there.
Table is not like the math mode, which is completely separate from normal wiki syntax, but something inside what all the wiki syntax is supposed to be usable. And for something like that, it steals a bit too many characters.
And what about precise description of this markup ?
