Hi,
I know this is not a realistic feature.
Is there a way to specify that all shadows cast by one light are colored by some
tint? (I'm not talking of the highlight color, but rather separate tint of the
shadows and on a per light basis.)

Possible but cumbersome. It involve using projected_through lights
associated with your base light(s).
It should work as follow:
Declare all the objects that are to have coloured shadows in some large
unions.
Place that, or those, union in your scene.
Place all of your lights.
Place copies of all the lights that are to cast coloured shadows. Those
copies have the colour that you want the shadows to have. They also have
the projected_through attribute using your large union.
shine in areas that would otherwise be in shadow and don't shine in
areas that would be lighted using a normal light_source.
It works well with area_light and parallel.
Using spot_light is pointless.
In my tests, it don't like photons. You need to set the
projected_through object as photons{pass_thgough} or it won't produce
any photons.
It should be interesting using transparent objects as projected_through
object. Would an object with pigment{rgbf<0,1,0,1>} gives magenta
illumination?

Since a shadow by definition is the complete /absence/ of any influence
whatsoever from a specific light source, that's not possible.
However, as Alain mentioned already, POV-Ray's `projected_through`
mechanism /may/ be a useful tool for what you are trying to achieve,
depending on your exact intentions.

You could try replacing your existing light_source with:
light_source{ color shadow_colour shadowless}
light_source{ color (X-shadow_colour) }
Where X is the original colour of your light, and shadow_colour is the
colour you want your shadows to be illuminated with.
eg:
light_source{<-10,25,-25> color rgb <0.4,0.0,0.0> shadowless}
light_source{<-10,25,-25> color rgb <0.6,1.0,1.0>}
Will give red tinted shadows, but still give white light for bits not in
shadow.

Looks legit; smart idea!
