Vatas is right, the shield thing really isn't a bug. It's a fix to a problem that raiders were using to exploit exiting mechanics at the time. I'd have to dig the patch notes to point it out. (Be glad to find them for you if you'd like the reference.)
When it comes to removing an old claim, time is always the factor as the rest can be overcome with just a little patience... put up more authority objects, grind a bit harder to fill the authority, etc. At worst, you could just wait out the 30 days unless that player is still active and you booted their character.
