Reading the code [1, line 766], it seems I am just misunderstanding the option. It seems you can only disable shadows on windows which have no decoration in the first place. Hence the shadow on the panel is effected while other shadows are not.
One bug still remains and that is that using an empty string does not reflect the behavior mentioned by the documentation (!any is different from ""). As compiz is being rewritten to C++, I'm going to try to get this bug into the won't fix. Any other users out there trying to get rid of shadows: use an extremely low opacity and radius as a work-around.
