As much as I appreciate your feedback on this matter Matrix, I don't think this IS the problem, as this can be observed without moving the camera closer / or further from the shadow.
Please take a look at the small demo here:
Downloads - Showcase Alpha
You will see, as you move the camera upwards, the shadow pops in and out, depending on the angle.
Note: WASD & Right Mouse Click (Although the click is just for aiming)
