Comment:

 Looking at this, it seems that the thing making it more difficult is
 allowing the self-closing tags to be identical to an opening tag. It means
 that our simpler (certainly not simple) regex isn't pairing the right
 open/close tags. The current behavior is as follows:
 {{{
 [test num="1" expected="matches #6" actual="matches #3"]
   [test num="2" expected="matches #3" actual="seen as self-
 closing"]test1[/test num="3" expected="matches #2" actual="matches #1"]
   [test num="4" expected="matches #5" actual="matches #5"]test2[/test
 num="5" expected="matches #4" actual="matches #4"]
 [/test num="6" expected="matches #1" actual="ignored completely"]
 }}}

 After the patch, tags 1 & 6 from above were completely missed, but the
 internal pairs seemed to match correctly. Having said that, the patch is
 also 2 years old and I had to apply the changes manually.
