Comment (by solarissmoke):

 The problem is with the regex in `get_shortcode_regex()` which assumes
 that the first `]` it comes across is the end of a shortcode tag, and it
 ignores the rest, thus breaking things.

 For now I've added a note in the
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API#Limitations codex] saying that
 the parser can't handle square brackets in attributes. Can't think of a
 way to fix this without making the regex a whole lot more complicated.
