As explained in the comments in that file, the colon is there so that
forms like
(defcustom foo nil
:bar 3)
Don't get refilled to
(defcustom foo nil :bar 3)
when you type M-q. The effect on docstrings containing colons is
unfortunate, but simply removing the colon from the regexp would be
incorrect.
