You've accurately determined how Subversion is processing your externals
definition. But it appears you aren't familiar with the general way in
which Subversion processes URLs/paths and revisions.
I suggest that you first read this:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.pegrevs.html
Then, change your external definition to instead be:
/shared/trunk/MySharedProjectBeforeRename_at_100 MySharedProjectBeforeRename
