Your change broke a lot of *note .... :: links where the :: is not
followed by a space, like these:

        (*note some note::)
        some text, *note some note::, more text

Try C-h i m elisp RET i signal RET TAB RET

I've installed a fix to CVS to stop searching for the end of the
reference when a comma, period, semicolon, or right parenthesis
follows the last colon.  

However, I'm not sure this the right fix.  It would probably be better
to specify the characters which shall cause a continued search if they
follow a colon, but I'm not sure what characters to include...
