I just did a ton of digging, and found the problem. When it comes to naphtha, shield block is all or nothing -- that is to say, if it blocks so much as 1% of the naphtha attack, it blocks it all. This is as opposed to normal weapons, where a shield can intercept part of the attack and still let some through.

This is not going to be something that is easy to change without completely redoing naphtha mechs first. I'll add it to the list, but it's not going to be high priority.
