For example, I often shade lots of windows in a chain, and when I land 
on the last one, it is unshaded (after I just shaded it) because it gets 
focus.  I also commonly move windows around between workspaces or shift 
them while shaded, both of which require more keystrokes to undo the 
unshade that the selection causes.

Yes, it is true that the final focus is the only unshaded one, but the 
above issues remain.
