I think you see box-shadow as just another border effect, a peer of border-style, border-color, etc. Then it seems natural that if border-image overrides border-style and border-color, it should also override box-shadow. I don't see box-shadow as a border effect in that way, so it seems unnatural for border-image to override it. The reason I don't see it as a border effect is because it doesn't share the nomenclature of the other border effects. If it was named border-shadow, then I would think your position reasonable, although still possibly not desirable. At least authors would be far less surprised when border-image overrides it. So I think the first thing you should argue for here is to have box-shadow renamed to border-shadow.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
