Good question.  IIRC, not doing shutdown(2) doesn't do any harm
if the socket is used by a single process, for the reader of
the other end gets EOF when the only process using this side
closes its fd (correct me if I'm wrong).
So my bet is call-with-socket shouldn't shutdown the socket.

The possible problem is when a child process is spawned
during the dynamic extent of call-with-socket and it keeps the
reference to the opened socket inadvertently.  But that's rather
an issue of process handling (e.g. process spawn API can
provide a way to guarantee to close all fds other than explicitly
declared to be shared).
