Thanks for your bug report.

Note that Nautilus automatically replaces the colons with underscores
when you move the screenshots over to a NTFS/FAT partition or drive;
however, other file managers (such as PCManFM) may not do that.

If you haven’t yet do so, please file this bug in upstream’s bug tracker
at bugzilla.gnome.org.

Title:
  Default filenames contain colons, making it hard to share screenshots

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Colons aren't allowed on "Microsoft-based" filesystems (NTFS, VFAT),
  and quite a few websites also don't allow colons in filenames of
  uploaded files (because downloading a file with such a name on a
  Windows system is, apparently, problematic).
