Comment:

 Shortcode parsing also fails for

 {{{
 [test id="1"][/test]
 }}}

 It doesn't detect the closing [/test] and keeps looking for it.

 That's even worse when a shortcode uses $content but also accepts it empty
 so that default value is used.

 The solution I found in my plugin was use
 {{{
 [test id="1"]{{empty}}[/test]
 }}}

 Ugly but at least worked.
