Dexnav crown discussion again…

Its color is calculated with this procedure (or most likely with a functional equivalent):
A = number of unlocked encounter sets (grass, surf if Norman defeated, combination of all 3 rods if you ever got any of them, special encounters if Groudon/Kyogre battled) for current location*
if A=0 disable DexNav
B = number of unlocked encounter sets for which you caught (for the Pokedex definition of caught) all of them
if A-B is 0, gold/platinum (1st result if main legendary not battled, 2nd if it is)
if A-B is 1, silver/gold
if A-B is 2, bronze/silver
if A-B is 3, none/bronze
if A-B is 4, —/none

But did anyone figure out what makes it shine?
I saved in Meteor Falls on the 25th of April and after loading the game it was shiny (with A-B=1=gold); after loading Streetpassess and walking through a door it wasn't shiny anymore, both in the new room and in the original room…

It became shiny again after writing this post with the 3DS in standby!
