Well, you could point to the spec at the then-current official spec and
explain that at IE9's release, the property was restricted, but when the
LC errata were folded in the restriction was loosened to allow (but not
require) support for box-shadow on ::first-line. In both cases IE9 remains
100% compliant to the spec.

BTW, I think "how to" questions on responding to customer support requests
is off-topic here. :)
