Remo,
Behind an abbreviation point can be any punctuation, except the point. So when a listing ends with etc. at the end of sentence, it is rare to find colon. (I say this because I think is the most common case of abbreviation at end of sentence.) For a fuller explanation, go to: abbreviations, and interesting reflections on the short name first country to call you then scares you: EE. UU. The two linguistic references are the Vademecum of EFE, the other is Remo. ;)
