Except it does not say "works on
all thrown spells except Spell Shield." Instead it states it works on "any Thrown-type spell" and also gives a list of exceptions that is not inclusive: "Has no effect on spells other than Thrown type, on most magic items (but see p. 166), or on the Spell Shield." The difference is slight but this allows for exception to be mentioned, and in the case of Shapeshift the exception is explicit.
ITL 33, "The spell is permanent unless removed by Dissolve Enchantment, a wish, or another shapeshift." This lists only extreme measures to remove Shapeshifting. Dissolve Enchantment (IQ 17; cost 50), a wish (gained by summoning a demon IQ 17; cost 30 plus a pentagram and risking your life), or another Shapeshift (IQ 18; cost 20). The IQ 14 & cost 2 RTS does not fit in this list.
