Comment (by miqrogroove):

 We will have to revert [28727] if the above behavior is desired.  The
 original problem was that wptexturize was corrupting HTML when it
 contained what appeared to be shortcode patterns.  If we want shortcodes
 to contain HTML, then we have to go back to corrupting HTML.  There really
 isn't any middle ground because we are either giving one language priority
 over the other, or we are accepting tag soup with merely okay results.

 The ultimate example is what happens if this "expand" shortcode contains
 HTML with square brackets?

 {{{[expand title="<a href='http://example.com/?a[]=12345'>Hello
 World</a>"]}}}

 There is simply no way to parse that expression without recursion or
 object modeling.
