Pgfplots, problem with pin and [francais]{babel}

Question

When I don't use babel package, pins are ok. I suspect there is a problem with the colon, in french we put a space before and after, but how to tell pgfplot not to do it?

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}
        \addplot[domain=0:1,samples=20,smooth,blue,thick](
        {(1-x)^2*1+2*(1-x)*x*5+x^2*10},
        {(1-x)^2*5+2*(1-x)*x*25+x^2*30}
        );
        \addplot[domain=0:1,samples=20,smooth,blue,thick]
        coordinates{(10,30) (20,40)};

        \addplot[red,very thin] coordinates{(0,0) (8,40)};
        \addplot[red,very thin] coordinates{(0,20) (10,30)};
        \node [coordinate, pin=-30:{$P_0$}] at (axis cs:1,5) {};
        \node [coordinate,pin={150:{$P_1$}}] at (axis cs:5,25) {};
        \node [coordinate,pin=-30:{$P_2$}] at (axis cs:10,30) {};
    \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

I think it is the same issue of Unexpected clash between babel and pgf spy: add a \shorthandoff{;} right before opening the tikzpicture environment. — Claudio Fiandrino, Jan 19 '14 at 11:44
This problem is solved in TiKZ 3.0.0 with a babel library. — Ignasi, Jan 19 '14 at 11:48
@ClaudioFiandrino : you are right with \shorthandoff{:}. My bad I said semicolon thinking colon. — Penbeuz, Jan 19 '14 at 11:52
