The tab isn't too bad; I just got used to hitting the on-screen button with my thumb or finger.

But having to close the keyboard, tap the xterm to get the on-screen keyboard, select other keyset, select symbols, peck out the | is beyond annoying.

Hmm. Perhaps I should have spoken up sooner.
You can add a pipe to the xterm toolbar, just goto the menu -> Tools -> Settings... , click the 'Toolbar shortcut' button, click 'New', for title enter | (or whatever character you want on your toolbar to represent the pipe), and value is
Code:
bar
I hope that minimizes some of your frustrations.

Other shortcuts I find useful (I have n800) for the dash ( - ), the value is:
Code:
minus
and for the underscore ( _ ), the value is:
Code:
underscore
