Comment (by dnavarrojr):

 Regular Expressions have never been a strong suite, however I have written
 dozens of mathematical parsers and based on what I know from that process,
 I would have to agree with your assessment.  The correct way to handle
 this is to parse the shortcodes first and ignore the HTML, which is how I
 *think* it worked before the patch.  In fact, I'm not sure why it's doing
 ANY HTML parsing at all.

 If someone else doesn't work this out, I'll take a few days to work on it
 myself in a week.
