I'm fascinated that you discovered that there was an ability to keep 
both a shared and card specific field contents -- I don't recall seeing 
any documentation that promised that HC would preserve residual text 
when the shared text attribute of the field changed.  
  Any reason why you could not accomplish the same thing with a second 
field, overlaying them and changing the visible attribute if you have to 
be able to show the user either?
