Comment (by aaroncampbell):

 Talked to trevgore in IRC.  I recommended something like this:
 On init retrieve option and register shortcodes.  Since each shortcode tag
 can only have 1 function attached anything registered after will
 overwrite.  Example code:
 {{{
 $old_shortcodes = get_option( 'old_shortcodes', array() );
 foreach ( $old_shortcodes as $sc ) {
         if ( $sc_not_registered_already )
                 add_shortcode( $sc, 'unregistered_shortcode' );
 }
 }}}

 And then on shutdown load the option and merge the list of old shortcodes
 with the current set and store the list back in the option.

 I think trevgore is going to take another shot at the patch.
