It is possible that for shapefiles, the ids are still the same between 
the two methods, that would explain why getFeature() still works for 
you, but doesn't explain why Python's resultsGetShape() fails.

However, I know that with most other connection types (other than 
shapefile), the shape index returned by a resultset are different from 
the absolute shape index.

About the Python issue, if you can file a ticket with a small testcase 
to reproduce (data + mapfile + exact steps to reproduce) then one of us 
could try to have a look.
