Based on that I would say, when border-image present, treat the area outside the border-edge as opaque, give the border area the transparency of the border-images, and treat the area inside the padding area as transparent, then cast the shadow of that. Basically, if you draw an inset shadow along with border-image then we assume your images define a custom shape for the inner border and the outer border is the border-box. If you draw an outset shadow along with border-image then we assume your images define a custom shape for the outer border and the inner border is the padding-box.

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]
