I have items on live with a damage shield mod and they do not apply unless you have an actual DS on you. If you do, then the item mod DS stacks on top of the spell. Maybe it was done that way on purpose to emulate Live more accurately?

Seems you are correct, I found a post on allakhazam that describes that its a Damage Shield Modifier, intended to augment a spell DS. But this was in 2004.. It just seems like a bug since the item is described as having a damage shield.

No worries, this was a one-liner in the code, the whole file is still getting replaced.
