  I digged a bit further about the "linkification"
of shell:bla and elisp:bla (the same applies
to all protocols listed in `org-link-types'):

  - this type of links is defined by the syntax (see "plain link" in
    defcustom `org-activate-links')
  - syntax seems not to consider the corner-case of tags shell:bla
  - the unwanted link inhibits the function "click on tags => do a search by 
tags"
  - my workaround: I won't use `elisp' and `shell' in the tags, but `el' and 
`sh'
  - possible actions could be:
    - change the syntax (backward-incompatible): the regexp for plain
      links should not allow for ":" delimiters
    - or (backward-compatible) change `org-activate-plain-links' so that
      a plain link is not activated if it's inside a tag
    - or (backward-compatible) leave everything as it is now,
      as it's a minor bug (note that the tag search with "C-c \"
      works properly, the problem is just that you can't
      start a search with a mouse click)
  
  Kindest regards,
