Good question... I'm thinking it's the same reason that with strict compilation enabled a variable in a repeat loop does not have to be declared as a script local. If it is declared as a script local no shadow error occurs. A handler parameter in a way is the same as it doesn't need parameters to be declared. What is the scope of the variable vs. the handler parameter when the handler is running? That's bigger question.
The parameter is different from the script-local variable (i.e. changing it within the handler changes the parameter, not the script-local).
(and, btw, the same non-reporting happens if it's a global shadowed by a parameter name).
