So to simplify things if I ensure that I don't re-raise more than half the short stack's remaining chips, anticipating a shove, this should allow me to re-shove over him.

Thank you for your time and these insights, I would've remained oblivious of my part in this conundrum nor that I possessed the means to prevent its occurrence.

I feel this strategy should have a name. You are roping the bystander in first to fatten the pot with an easy flat to the short stack's shove before you finally isolate and he is forced to submit to your fold equity.

This can be a very profitable scenario to construct but we should also be weary not to fall trap to it if we are caught out of position to the constructor.

I think we have 3 options here once you've identified what's happening;
i) you can fold and get out of the way
ii) you can flat but be prepared to call if they re-shove or 
iii) if you think u can get them to fold you may attempt to interrupt their plan and isolate yourself.

Either way call and fold is a mistake.
