I think this is expected, so more of a feature request than a bug.
gnome-shell isn't really a Terminal Server like you'd find on Windows.
And it's not a remote desktop server like legacy X11. It's primarily a
local desktop which can be controlled by remote protocols. But in order
to have a desktop to control it needs to have a size, hence a monitor
plugged in.
Seems totally reasonable that gnome-shell should support the headless
case though.
