Presumably if you side-load the downloaded file on the specified Kindle, as it is intended for, it syncs to Amazon and author gets credit for pages read (if and when Kindle connects to Amazon).
Apparently the download feature for KU titles was disabled only last year:

Obviously they didn't bother doing this for the shared account. It's an edge case of an edge case, probably they will never get around to it.
I would not remember, but they might have had some 'fudge factor' to give authors reading credit for a download for a device that might never connect to Amazon.
