Well as far as I remember there are two tests that might look in '/dev/shm'. One is the 'suspscan' test, but that is disabled by default. The other is the 'filesystem' test. You can either disable the entire test (see DISABLE_TESTS in the config file), or run the test only on files actually in '/dev' (not the sub-directories). To do this set SCAN_MODE_DEV=LAZY in the config file.
