During setup, I'm seeing the shadows of BLU team members through a wall of their base.

This happens on Windows too. Shadows can be seen through thin walls. Most commonly I see it on the walls of the stairwell in the last area of Badwater.

More common to see shadows on the underside of floors, i also get this on both windows and linux.

Experiencing this bug on Windows/Linux as well.

I think this is a known issue. There's an entity in Hammer that can be used to disable shadows on certain surfaces, and the only reason I can think of why it would have been created is because they knew shadows were showing up where they weren't supposed to.
