By recent, I had meant all my changes in this area over the last six 
months or so.  Given that, it's entirely possible something got into 
3.5.1.  I honestly haven't been tracking the releases closely.

I need to take a closer look at your bug report before I can really 
comment.  I'm about to do that, but it's worth commenting that the 
shadow stack GC appears to be working normally on a recent linux build.  
I ran it on a recent build snapshot from the 26th of March I happened to 
have lying around.  Here's the test code I used:

declare void @foo()

declare void @llvm.gcroot(i8**, i8*)

define void @test(i8* %ptr) gc "shadow-stack" {
    %slot = alloca i8*
    call void @llvm.gcroot(i8** %slot, i8* null)
    store i8* %ptr, i8** %slot
    call void @foo()
    %ptr2 = load i8*, i8** %slot
    store i8 0, i8* %ptr2
    ret void
}
