If you are talking abour the '111111' hidden menue, the menue is buggy and does not always display the correct color space information, especially for DV. The shield is tunneling DV in an 8Bit RGB tunnel and this is confusing for the menue and can cause bugs to display wrong information.

Yes, that hidden menu.
The fact that the HDMI report shows SDR content for DV is a known bug, but there's another menu that can tell you if the colour space is BT2020 or not.
In the LG remote, there's a ... button. Clicking on it and selecting TV> Information will display at the bottom the resolution, the color space, and if it's PCM or not.
If the Shield is set to auto switch colour spaces and the Custom Display Mode is set to Rec709 Dolby Vision and HDR10 Ready when playing DV or SDR, it is not coming up as BT2020. When playing HDR it comes up as BT2020. The switching works.
If the Shield is set to auto switch colour spaces and the Custom Display Mode is set to Rec2020 Dolby Vision and HDR10 Ready when playing DV, SDR or HDR it always comes up as BT2020. The switching doesn't work.

Will test this later today. For me I haven't noticed any problems with the colors so I assume everything is switching correctly.

EDIT: For me it does not show the color space. It shows the aspect ratio, resolution, audio format and hdr format if it is HDR or DV. Do I need to configure something or is it a misunderstanding from your side?

EDIT 2: Tested with the hidden menue. Shield.is set to YUV4:2:2 12Bit Rec.2020. In the android launcher the TV reports 709 and also for playing a DV movie the TV reports 709 (which I assume is also bug because of the tunneling). For HDR the TV reports correctly 2020. So for me the color space switch is working as intended.

Below are the screenshots and test videos I used.
The video is the same video but encoded in DV, HDR, SDR.

Three screenshots were taken when Shield is set to YUV4:2:2 12Bit Rec.2020 Dolby Vision and HDR ready:
Dolby Vision
HDR
SDR SDR comes up as BT.2020


Three screenshots were taken when Shield is set to YUV4:2:2 12Bit Rec.709 Dolby Vision and HDR ready:
Dolby Vision
HDR
SDR

See how the Rec709 switches whereas the Rec2020 doesn't?
