I am using a fairly popular library (sunspot-solr for ruby) on top of solr that introduces the use of a colon, so I will modify the library, but I think there is still a bug as this stopped working in recent version of solr. Solr should also not allow the data into the doc in the first place if it can't sort by that column name.
