As OP closing it.  

I know enough elisp to work around minor issues.  I really don't have to
report minor bugs.

24.3.50; show-paren-mode: Unsatisfactory highlighting behaviour

Better explained with attached screenshot.  

For the impatient,

0. Right in this mail buffer, M-x show-paren-mode RET
1. Place cursor at the arrow position {}{},  []{}
                                        ^      ^
2. Expected behaviour.  I should see 4 highlights.  
3. Current behaviour.  

   The parentheses pair that is highlighted is the one that is "looking
   back".

   There is no way I can highlight the parentheses pair "looking
   forward".  I consider the bug.

I am attaching the "real world" file that triggerd this bug.  This can
be used for unit testing purposes.
