Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Found a small refinement and added more tests based on ideas above.

 In miqro-29557.7.patch:
 * Revert parts of miqro-29557.5.patch.
 * Revert parts of [28773] and [28727].
 * Do not crash PHP.  Make the pattern quantifier possessive to avoid
 backtracks.
 * Do not break unregistered shortcodes, e.g. [hello attr="value"].
 * Do not break HTML in shortcode attributes, e.g. [hello attr="<"].
 * Do not match for shortcodes when there is extra whitespace, e.g. [ hello
 ].
 * Add unit tests to show #12690 was not fully resolved.
 * Tested PHP 5.2.4, 5.2.13, 5.4.32, and 5.5.8.
