from FF 22 scratchpad:
var p = {__proto__: "silly"};
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(p,"__proto__");
/*
undefined
*/
Object.getPrototypeOf(p)===Object.prototype
/*
true
*/
var p = {__proto__: "silly"};
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(p,"__proto__");
/*
undefined
*/
Object.getPrototypeOf(p)===Object.prototype
/*
true
*/
var p = {__proto__: "silly"};
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(p,"__proto__");
/*
undefined
*/
Object.getPrototypeOf(p)===Object.prototype
/*
true
*/
var p = {__proto__: "silly"};
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(p,"__proto__");
/*
undefined
*/
Object.getPrototypeOf(p)===Object.prototype
/*

var p = {__proto__: "silly"};
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(p,"__proto__");
/*

var p = {__proto__: "silly"};

var r = {__proto__: p};

I don't see any shadowing or __proto__ going on here.
