Comment (by pputzer):

 Replying to [comment:6 nofearinc]:
 > I'm not sure what's the issue with calling `do_shortcode` for the
 caption, whether it's set via the media popup or as an attribute, so a
 simple call added to the caption callback.

 I'm pretty sure that this patch does not help at all. The problem is the
 regex line {{{if ( preg_match( '#((?:<a [^>]+>\s*)?<img
 [^>]+>(?:\s*</a>)?)(.*)#is', $content, $matches ) ) {}}} that throws out
 any shortcode enclosing the image and/or link tag in the {{{$content}}}.
