Yeah, that looks like a bug, I think...  fill-column should either be
used in both cases or none?

The problem is that the user may have a window that's narrower than
fill-column, so I think it may be a misfeature to rely on that variable
in any case.  See bug#40909 -- I think the solution here may be to
introduce a max-width variable for shr instead of having a shr-width
variable.
