 I was trying to just remove a shortcode by returning empty string from
 `wp.shortcode.replace()` callback.

 **For example**


 {{{
 var text = "This is some content with shortcode. [foo]some content[/foo]

 text = wp.shortcode.replace('foo', text, function(tag){

     // attributes and content values are broken.

     return '';

 });
 }}}

 The callback function simply get ignored. No replacement happened for the
 shortcode. If I return anything other then empty string for example `' '`
 (string with space) it does replace the shortcode.

 I am not sure if this behavior was intended or not.
