\...@colonspace is an *internal* command according to the '@' in its
name, so it is not meant to be redefined by the end-user.
The official way for customizing this space is:
\frenchbsetup{ThinColonSpace=true} for versions > 2.0 or
\renewcommand{\Fcolonspace}{\thinspace} for older versions (this still
works now).
The origin of the problem is a change in version 2.3:
\AutoSpaceBeforeFDP was differed 'AtBeginDocument' (\...@colonspace is
still defined but not in the preamble), I reverted this change in 2.4
because it breaks tex4ht (pointed out by Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard).
What I suggest to Vincent is to replace
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\...@colonspace}{\fdp@thinspace}
\makeatother
by
\renewcommand{\Fcolonspace}{\thinspace}
in all his documents, even if he decides to switch to v2.4a ;-), because
I cannot guarantee that the name of frenchb's internal commands will
remain unchanged over the time.
