I am unable to replicate this behavior on my system with SELinux set to
enforcing mode.  However, it does happen (which is to be expected) when SELinux
is set to permissive mode.

% rpm -q openssh selinux-policy-mls
openssh-5.5p1-18.fc14.x86_64
selinux-policy-mls-3.8.8-8.fc14.noarch

Tested by by trying both /etc/issue and /etc/shadow as banner files - in permissive
mode, both files would be displayed. In enforcing mode, /etc/issue would show
up and /etc/shadow would not.  In addition, checking of the actual policy
source for ssh shows no entry for auth_read_shadow() for sshd_t, although it is
present for many other systemd daemons that have a need to read it. So in
enforcing mode, there's no rule allowing sshd to open /etc/shadow, so it won't
open.

Are you sure you weren't running in permissive mode when you tested this?
