it seems the parser (?) chops off everything starting from the : (maybe because the : could be the separator between name/FQDN and port?), I tried to escape the colon:
$ nautilus smb://%3A%3A1/sharing
Alas, this leads to the same error:
Could not find "smb:///sharing".
So, even the escaped colon (%3A) is seen as a colon and leads to a chop-off. :-(
As
$ nautilus smb://[::1]/sharing
leads to
Could not display "smb://[::1]/sharing/".
I don't think there is a need to escape the [ and ].
IMHO: the best solution is that Nautilus' SMB should be triggered by [ ] to use the included stuff as a litteral IPv6 address
As the command
$ nautilus smb://2001: 666:2:1/ sharing
leads to error message
Could not display "smb:// 2001/sharing/ ".
