I noticed there is no progress any more since a few months. :( I would still appreciate this being fixed.

I have the same, or at least a similar problem when using double-brackets (eg for use with placeholder plugin) inside bbcode (in my case url). Eg [url]https://[[var1]]/fooboo[/url] is not valid to bbcode plugin and gets corrupted.

This text generate the same: (b]*[/b]
