Actually, this is not a bug; that's how I designed it.

This is my very use-case: I have my playlist sorted by album at all times, yet I like to shuffle tracks around (that's especially useful for my various-artists albums). I feel that
a) my sorting choice should not be reset by shuffle action - this just annoys me because I have to set my whole sorting path again, and
b) having shuffle action only under the leftmost arrow, I am given a hint that it works on a more general scope, and having it separated from the sorting levels I am given a hint that it works differently.

These two lead me to the point, that is: although it may be surprising on the first use (what isn't?), the GUI setup makes this behavior feel natural or, at least, not awkward. And I feel that it's useful - it sure is for me. So while I am not hell-bent on making it stay, I stand for my design choice. :)
