This is by design *at this point*. The blurred shadow is being turned  
into an rgb bitmap. That causes it to show up on all plates. This will  
not be changed until the next major version, because a very  
substantial section of code needs to be changed and months worth of  
new code has to be written just so the cmyk shadow can be handled in  
its native cmyk space. It's not something we can just stick into a bug  
fix release.
