Underlining doesn't end when it surrounds a capitalized word followed by a colon

I ran in to this on purpose by accident, and after trying a bunch of variations think I've narrowed it down to the simplest formula (see bottom)

And this is what you get: Capitalized word followed by colon:

lowercase word, followed by colon:

Capitalized word followed by SEMIcolon:

iNVERTED capitalization, followed by colon:

ALL CAPS, followed by colon:

A single capital letter, followed by colon:

AA pair of capitals, followed by a colon:

SomthingAlmostButNOTQuiteWikiWord (followed by colon):


So.... it looks like any sequence of at least 2 letters followed by a colon, containing one or more capitals, and surrounded directly by underscore markup, will fail to end the underlining. This problem has been demonstrated in 1.5.2, 1.5.8, and now 1.6.0.
