Comment:

 If your content is solely created by one or two shortcodes that expands to
 block level elements then you have no benefit from `wpautop()`.
 {{{
 remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
 }}}
 Then write a function that determines when you don't need this formatting,
 and returns accordingly:
 {{{
 function my_formatting( $content ) {
     if ( test-expression-here )
         return $content;
     else
         return wpautop( $content );
 }
 add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_formatting' );
 }}}

 I guess you will have to test for either post_type, post_format, category,
 post_tag or analyze the content to find out.

 Another way is to disable wpautop() manually on a post by post basis, with
 a plugin like this [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wpautop-control/]

 WordPress runs wpautop at priority 10 and shortcodes at priority 11
 (hence, after wpautop). It's possible to manipulate this order, bringing
 your specific shortcodes to run before wpautop. `wpautop()` will then see
 the html block level elements and leave them as they are, while allowing
 extra text to go into paragraphs
 [http://www.viper007bond.com/tag/wpautop/].

 Further on this matter is a support thing [http://wordpress.org/support/].
 This is not a bug.
