I've confirmed that this works correctly for a small number of parameters,

I added the following blurb just before the shift:
echo "CONFIG_FILES = >$CONFIG_FILES<"
echo "# = >$#<"
echo "1 = >$1<"
echo "2 = >$2<"
echo "3 = >$3<"
The output:
CONFIG_FILES = > Makefile doc/Makefile ... ttest/Makefile<
# = >0<
1 = ><
2 = ><
3 = ><
The CONFIG_FILES list is huge---541 makefiles.
