I had standardized my BibTeX keys to be the first authors last name, followed by year, followed by the first letters of the first three words of the title (ex: Burnett2003MSS). In the past I used the following key generating function:
[auth][year:(unk)][shorttitle:abbr:upper] This now returns the first letter of the title (ex: Burnett2003M). Looking at the documentation: ':abbr: Abbreviates the text produced by the field name or spcial field marker. Only the first character and subsequent characters following white space will be included. For example, [journal:abbr] would from the journal name “Journal of Fish Biology” produce “JoFB”.' The problem appears to be that short title strings the first three words together "multi-scale segmentation" into "multiscalesegmentation" and then applies the abbreviation (resulting in "M" instead of "MSS"). Interestingly enough, it does work as expected for journal:abbr and title:abbr, but not shorttitle:abbr. I think this is a bug.
