Comment:

 I've just updated the codex saying this is probably a bug.

 http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Hyphens


 I don't really understand regular expressions so had no idea that the \b
 was the cause of the problem. But had performed tests showing that it also
 depended on the sequence of calls to add_shortcode.

 The problem was present in version 2.9.2 as well.
 When is this going to get fixed? How can I help?
