At least a handful of people have had the bolt snap (possibly because they were too short). After reading Dale's (MIMF) description, though, it doesn't sound like the new bolts are designed to be used as shear bolts.

After my experience, I'd carry a couple of them in my tool kit as insurance. Personally, I'll have a bunch made up specifically as shear bolts, which don't have the same weakness as a regular bolt that is stressed on the threads.
