After some digging this is what we currently have: Evasion: Takes overall hindrance (armor + shield) and this value penalizes the stat bonus to evasion skill by a large amount, and evasion skill by a smaller amount. Parry: Overall hindrance penalizes skill bonus from weapon balance and stats, shield hindrance penalizes parry ranks. Shield: Shield hindrance penalizes stat bonus to skill. So I think the error here is shield should be using (overall hindrance - shield hindrance) to determine the penalty to shield skill. Its hindrance penalty is too small currently. We'll see, not in any rush to fix this just yet.
