I don't quite understand the problem you see, but there is a change
in r3449 which seems to remove shields altogether? (perhaps only sometimes).

I've traced it to version 3449 where I added an ill-considered trim()
to the label, which removes all shields too.  I'll revert that change
straight away.  The trimspaces2.patch that was previously applied in
r3435 should do the same thing except correctly.

As I'm not sure if that is exactly the same problem that you reported 
can you try out r3472 and see if the problem persists.
