global-linum-mode is defined using the macro `define-globalized-minor-mode'.
From the Elisp manual entry on that macro:

     Globally enabling the mode also affects buffers subsequently
     created by visiting files, and buffers that use a major mode
     other than Fundamental mode; but it does not detect the creation
     of a new buffer in Fundamental mode.

And the *Shadows* buffer uses Fundamental mode.
