If a device is a reference point, and it goes down, all downstream networks and links should be shadowed, but the device itself will remain un-shadowed (so it can send notifications).
Another work-around is to set a network as the reference point instead of the switch.

Networks that are directly attached to the reference device do not get shadowed. (Is this a bug?) Devices connected to these networks therefore also don't get shadowed. This means that you'll get alerts from every device directly connected to your main switch, which is probably a fairly long list :) Shadowing works from devices that are NOT the reference device, so the devices further downstream get correctly shadowed.
One workaround is to not use your main switch as the reference point.
Pick a device upstream from there to be your reference device. You
could actually put your IM server on the map, hide all of the networks
connected to it, mark it as the reference device, and drag a manual link
to the main switch by holding down the E key while you drag. IM just
follows the links on the map to determine shadowing, including the
manually created links, so this should work as desired.
