These ShiftBrites were at one point connected to a 9V battery without the ground connected to the Arduino, something that could very well cause incorrect voltage on the logic pins. Some were also run at 12V. I'm working with Alessandro to determine any other possible causes, perhaps find ways to prevent additional failures, and RMA the dead modules.
