OK, fixed.  It turns out you need to specify the style on each output
row ('l'/literal) so that a later data value of ^.^ is not intepreted as
a horizontal/vertial alignment specification.  (Wow, it sounds like I
know what I am talking about.  ;-) )

The new output is:

    test=> \pset format asciidoc
    Output format is asciidoc.
    test=> \x
    Expanded display is on.
    test=> table "5 2.2+^.^";

    [cols="h,l",frame="none"]
    |====
    2+^|Record 1
-->    <l|5 2.2+^.^ >|1
    |====

Notice the added 'l' next to the '<'.  Updated patch attached.  Any
other issues?
