Hi There - I just built a similar config to you and found the same behaviour.  
No type 3 LSA in the database on the CE from the PE until I shut down the 
backdoor link.
I am using 12.4(15)t on GNS 3.
When I build the sham link everything works ok, but why no type 3 before that?  
Interesting question.
