Only two ideas so far:

1. Edit the legend in the Editor. I wasn't able to do it without leaving unfilled space where the legend should have been. 

2. Create your own legend from scratch using graph commands.

If I can think of a way of getting the | symbol in the legend, I will post it.

Your other questions are for StataCorp. The new symbol I'd most like
to see personally is a downward-pointing triangle.
