Amos, this is only a hypothesis, but perhaps the problem stems from Unit B having so many abilities?

[Amos]

Actually, even when I remove all the attributes the problem persists.

[Amos]

I've got it. For the one directional shapechange to work the unit B should go after the unit A in the mod file. Insane I know.

BTW, this explains your trouble with multiple changes.
