The shim versions don't matter here, the issues are all in grub.

You're using the Secure Boot path (shim -> grub-efi-amd64-signed), so
the version of grub that matters for you is the signed version:
1+2.06+5. That is (so far) still based on grub2 source version 2.06-5.
It takes a short while for the builds to propagate through the signing
machinery in Debian.

Please be patient, the fix is on the way to you. If you can check
again when 1+2.06+6 is available, that will be more helpful.
