That's because first person uses lower quality shadow-source model (invisible to you) to save performance.
My guess is that BIS logic is "you don't see your own shadow most of the time so it shouldn't need extra details"

After BIS implements soft shadows for all models none of it would matter.

Seems to be the same issue as #0005181.

Closing.
