For closure here is the resolution:

Hi, Scott

I think I know what's going on with the partition error in shake. For a
multi-molecule system, sander assumes/requires that atoms of the same
molecule are in the same block of the PDB file (I don't remember if this
is documented anywhere). But my PDB file has a metal ion bonded to one
of the monomer, but this metal ion is not located in the same block as
the monomer. This created the partition error in shake. Reordering this
atom solved the problem.
