You should be ok, since the installation process forces a recompile of
all the pyc files.

Correct! It shunt is there as a failsafe, so when an uncaught
exception occurs during the processing of a message, at least you
don't lose it -- there's a chance that the bug will be fixed and you
can "unshunt" the message.
Actually, there's a handy script, bin/unshunt that moves all the
messages from qfiles/shunt to the proper directory. I run that
several times a day while I'm developing new code. :)
Just run bin/unshunt and watch your log files.
