A posting to the Forum notes that GR-1089, clause 4.6.2 on “intrabuilding surge test” has an exception for shielded cables grounded at each end. This is supported by Verizon document http://www.verizonnebs.com/TPRs/VZ-TPR-9305.pdf. (See clause 7.2.12.1.) Does this conclusion reflect current practice.
