I'm looking in to it now.  There is no Map event when emacs is uniconified, so Emacs thinks it is still iconified.  Either Gtk swallows it or gnome-shell doesn't send any.  The former is unlikely as this also happens with Gtk 2.24.4 which works fine with other window managers.  It is most likely gnome-shell specific.
 I'll see if there is any other way Emacs can detect when it becomes uniconified.
