Corrected MWE (it turns out that \shiftDurations is irrelevant; it is the 
dotted breve that is misbehaving):

\version "2.19.82"

{
  \time 3/1
  c'\longa. % should give \breve. ~ \breve.
  \time 3/2
  c'\breve. % works as expected
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove "Note_heads_engraver"
    \consists "Completion_heads_engraver"
  }
}
