As far as I know they evaluate the same way in both cases, e.g. when

problem is that when called from another card, the "me" that gets
evaluated is the wrong "me".

My guess would be is that "me" is pre-calculated, stored to speed
things up, however the cache doesn't work under some circumstances

Did you try my experiments using "answer" and with setting custom
properties? I spent about 2 hours investigating various
permutations of this for you, so it would be useful if other
interested parties could try out these things too. Before we start
guessing about caches, I suggest we establish the details of what
is happening as fully as possible, and check that we see the same
behaviour on different platforms and different engine versions.
That way the most complete bug report can be filed. I'm not even
sure that Mark and I are seeing the same behaviour once we start to
look beyond the surface of what is obviously unexpected behaviour
on the part of these fields and handlers.
The thing is that depending on the context "me" is evaluated
differently, so all the different tests etc. don't really count for
much, except that they evaluate ok in *that* context or they don't.
The tests you did are just red herrings since they change the context
of how "me" is evaluated. The only way to *know* is *if* you have
access to the source code *OR* of there were documentation stating
exactly what is *supposed* to happen.
Do you know if this has already been entered into bugzilla?
I'm not sure if it has been filed or not, the idea of posting it here
was to get some feedback on exactly what the bug was (and thereby be
able to file it correctly) and get the "officical" work around. The
sharedText property just causes more headaches.
All the Best
