If I can show that the problem exists from the shorewall startup script are you interested in the problem then?
I have replied to Adam off-list about this but let me say publicly that I don't believe that this can be solved in the init scripts in any general way.

If I were trying to solve this problem on my own firewall, I would create an ipset to represent the addresses to which northerner.no-ip.info resolves. The script that currently restarts the firewall would then simply have to update the ipset.
