But the biggest factor, most likely, is that we don't know if this is a glitch. It may fall under the dreaded "Working as intended". It seems silly to me that this would be intentional, but there's no way to tell but to ask.
Ranged attacks also always take shadows, or at least they did unless they have changed it while i was away.
