Comment (by engelen):

 Nested shortcodes aren't supported by core by default. As stated in the
 ticket description, one has to call `do_shortcode` in the shortcode
 contents themselves. As such, shortcode content should actually be
 considered as "raw" content: it's all parsed by the shortcode, and not
 handled outside of that.

 Therefore, one could argue that `has_shortcode` shouldn't return true for
 nested shortcodes. That's my belief, at least. I think the function works
 as it should currently, and that no support for nested shortcodes should
 be offered as long as core doesn't start parsing shortcodes bottom-up
 (i.e. first parse the most deeply nested shortcode, moving a level up each
 iteration).
