How about moving it out of this array to make things extra clear? registerBlockType( shortcode.name, shortcode.settings );?

Both work for me :) Hopefully it will be fixed soon as described in the comment.

Not sure. It feels like all the core blocks should be gathered in a single place, and the current approach of creating an array and looping over it seems more apt. Placing a registerBlockType call for Shortcode beside that loop could perhaps make it less visible?

Fixes regression identified in #4514 (comment) whereby freeform-to-block conversion and pasting of known shortcodes, such as
[gallery]was intercepted by the generic Shortcode block.Description
Read comment in diff for details. The gist is that shortcode conversion doesn't support concurrent shortcode transforms, in that there is no explicit prioritization mechanism to handle conflicting matches. A proper solution is underway, but until then this quick fix restores registration order to its state before #4514.
How Has This Been Tested?
[gallery]or some custom transform-enabled shortcode.[sfoihergv]).Types of changes
