Er, in my situation I create the link with another package, and I *did*
escaped the colon.

I see, so I understand that you will someday modify a function creating
links in order to implement character escaping. I can give a hand if
tell me the function name.

I also send you my patch with a git diff, just in case (with same
changelog attached again). Sorry for using `diff -c', I just followed
the info node `(emacs) Sending Patches'
