Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.12.2, or the latest 1.13 development snapshot 18w07c) of Minecraft?
They no never run to the shade if they were not on fire in the first place and willingly leave the shade.
Can confirm in 21w41a. The expected behavior would be that skeletons would prefer to find shelter over attacking the player.
