Hi, Unfortunately, this "works as designed". "[shorttitle]" has been introduced before biblatex existet. See http://jabref.sourceforge.net/help/LabelPatterns.php for an explanation of "shorttitle".
Could you file an issue at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues? Think, we should change the behavior of "shorttitle" to use the bibtex field "shorttitle" if it exists.
