Yes. 

In the irrotational case The residue of the constraint equations converges
to the 2nd order to zero when I increased the resolution.
However, in the corotational case, the Momentum constraint doesn't converge
at all, though the Hamiltonian constraint seems to converge to some big value.

The constraint problem is a seperate issue since the shift vector should not
affect the constraints at all. I noticed the sigh difference in the 3+1 formalism
when I read your paper for the first time and considered that when I began to 
use Meudon datasets.
