This is to confirm that I and Ilja (in Cc) get the desired behaviour by
evaluating the suggested regexp.

Steps to quickly reproduce this on 'emacs -Q':

+ C-x C-f /tmp/test.org

+ Insert a heading with a priority cookie:

  - * TODO [#A] This is a test

+ Evaluate: (set-face-attribute 'org-priority nil :background "#ddd")

  - The background is just to visualise the extra blank to the right of
    the cookie's closing bracket.  Same principle for underlines,
    overlines, boxes.

+ Eval: (setq org-priority-regexp ".*?\\(\\[#\\([A-Z0-9]+\\)\\]\\) ?")

+ M-x org-mode-restart

+ The extra space which was coloured before should no longer be affected
  by the face properties.  The background we added must only cover the
  priority cookie's text.

Best regards,
