The document behind the first link (if you scroll down to Switzerland) doesn't say anything about the Rule of Shorter Terms, on the second site I've found this which doesn't indicate any altering to paragraph 7/8 of the Berne Convention:

Protection abroad
Every legal system is principally national; in other words, under Swiss law, works and other protected matter are only protected in Switzerland. However, international treaties have been concluded to guarantee protection at an international level. They grant Swiss authors the same level of protection as authors residing in that country as long as that country and Switzerland are signatories to the same treaty. The majority of industrialized countries have signed the most important copyright (Berne Convention, German) and related rights (Rome Convention, German) treaties.
