I found this upstream bug report[1], and it's reproducible. So, there's something seriously screwed up upstream, and as someone said in the "firefox Looking Glass" thread on this list[2], looks like Marketing is overruling the security/privacy devs in Mozilla, I think he nailed the issue at the core of this debacle.
If you read the bug report it appears that this isn't a bug at all - but rather someone going into about:config and making assumptions which are incorrect.
There is a warning when you go into about:config - you're suppose to know what you're doing.
If you want to disable shield studies, go into preferences/privacy security. You don't need to fiddle with about:config.
