I don't know how recent "recent" means, but I'm not seeing it here:

root at turalyon:~# mount | grep shm
root at turalyon:~# touch /dev/shm/asdf 
root at turalyon:~# mount | grep shm
root at turalyon:~# echo "lalalala" > /dev/shm/asdf 
root at turalyon:~# mount | grep shm
root at turalyon:~# cat /dev/shm/asdf 
lalalala
root at turalyon:~# mount | grep shm


This is glibc 2.3.4, as shipped with Slackware 10.1.0.
