Yes, this is to continue to allow words to have colons after them.
For example, if an author writes

    My reasons for liking PmWiki:  it's cost-effective, fun, and easy to use.

we don't want the "PmWiki:" suddenly turning into a link.

InterMap links aren't page links -- they're always treated as
external links.  For page links we normally use one of the other
markups.

I don't think that InterMap links are the way to go here --
I think you really want a custom markup.  My suggestion would be
to redefine "[top]" as a shortcut:

    Markup('[top]', '<links',
      '/(?<!\\[)\\[top\\]/', 
      '[[#top | top]]');

This simply replaces any occurrence of "[top]" in the markup
with "[[#top | top]]", which then generates a jump to top link.

Also, since the page content typically has <div id='wikitext'>
at the beginning of the page text, you could also define it as

    Markup('[top]', '<links',
      '/(?<!\\[)\\[top\\]/', 
      '[[#wikitext | top]]');

which prevents you from having to add [[#top]] markers to the
beginning of each page.  For example, see 

    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/JumpTop#wikitext 

Or you could make it jump to some other automatically id= tag; the
appropriate one to use will probably depend on the skin you're
using.
