Scott,
I'm not using the harness Bose sells precisely because I didn't like the way they handled the shield grounds.
If you use their harness only to jumper across from the standard headphone jacks to the LEMO a very short distance away, then it probably won't matter in practice. A few inches is likely too short a run for the shielding to make any difference one way or the other. Just connect all the grounds together and you should be fine.
But if you use their harness to run a longer distance, say a few feet from the LEMO all the way to the audio panel, then the way you handle the shields and grounds will actually matter, and doing it per Bose's instructions may cause noise problems.
Looking at Bose's instructions, it appears that they intended the former, and gave no thought to the latter.
