In the phenomenon of shadowing, listeners are asked to attend to one message and ignore the other. Therefore, if the message shifting from attended to unattended ear causes the listener to stop shadowing or switch to a new message, it would defeat the purpose of the task. The best option is for the listener to continue shadowing the message, despite the shift from attended to unattended ear.
