Error for table inside noFormat=true example for Latex output

[speechchemistry]

From the README:

If you want to add something else (not a linguistic example) in a numbered example, then there is the local option noFormat=true. An attempt will be made to try and do a reasonable layout.

This is helpful functionality. I have paradigms that I would like to have give a single example number to but represented in a table. This works for HTML but not Latex. For example with the following table:

::: {#ex:reflexive_pronouns .ex noFormat=true}

| Zhire    | Gloss      |
| -------- | ---------- |
| [ʑʷòtì]  | myself     |
| [ʑʷòrkù] | yourself   |
| [ʑʷòrkà] | himself    |
| [ʑʷōlē]  | ourselves  |
| [ʑʷōrkī] | yourselves |
| [ʑʷòrmɔ̀] | themselves |

pandoc input.md --lua-filter pandoc-ling.lua -o output.tex
I get the following error:

Error running filter pandoc-ling.lua:
pandoc-ling.lua:974: bad argument #1 to 'extend' (table expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
        pandoc-ling.lua:974: in function 'texSquashMulti'
        pandoc-ling.lua:1155: in function 'texMakeLinguex'
        pandoc-ling.lua:990: in function 'texMakeExample'
        pandoc-ling.lua:271: in function 'processDiv'

A workaround would be to just use a standard table and forget about using pandoc-ling for paradigms. (In fact I can't quite work out what the linguistic convention should be for this type of data. I haven't found explicit guidance e.g. in Haspelmath (2014). Google Gemini suggests my current approach of creating a table with an example number.)
