This has been reported in #360276 with a patch. We (shadow maintainers) will review the patch, discuss it with upstream, and hopefully upload shadow 4.0.15-2 this week-end. We have another issue we want to see fixed anyway (#360179) and will also include the long-awaited fix for #276419 (which has been announced in -devel-announce).
