I agree with you that double-dot does not signal "some things are ellided here" to a usual reader.

I actually think consistent use of %(align:...) is needed, simply because my knee-jerk reaction to "%(align:)" was "huh? where does the need for the trailing colon come from?", not "ah, you try to imply that there must be something more by having just a colon there".
