Here's an odd idea:
Skip the colon in the run-in paragraph. Instead, define the glossary
terms as having an autonumbering of ": ". The visual effect will be
the same, but your cross-refs to the run-ins will be without colon.
If you need to cross-ref the actual glossary term texts, the
autonumber will not be included in a cross-ref format using <$paratext>,
so it shouldn't cause any problems.
