There does indeed seem to be a bug in the validator here;
the first passes validation, while the second does not :

  .foo {Box-shadow: 64px 64px 12px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.4),
            12px 12px 0px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.4) inset}

  .foo {Text-shadow: 64px 64px 12px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.4),
            12px 12px 0px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.4) inset}

Example taken from http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-box-shadow,
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/, Section 10.3. Text Shadows: the
‘text-shadow’ property states :

> This property accepts a comma-separated list of shadow effects to be
