Comment(by Viper007Bond):

 You guys are incorrect. "embed" is registered as a shortcode, but only for
 a short amount of time. Look at `WP_Embed::run_shortcode()` in `/wp-
 includes/media.php`. It is a `the_content` filter that hooks in
 pre-`wpautop()` that runs one specific shortcode.

 The only solution I can think of is to register the tag to a dummy
 callback (as described by belg4mit) but then substitute it out for the
 real callback when we actually go to render it. A bit messy, but it should
 work.
