Documented feature, but you're holding it wrong ;)

       If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard
       input is not a terminal or there is no current branch, git shortlog
       will output a summary of the log read from standard input, without
       reference to the current repository.

(Note that you can use shortlog ala "git log --pretty=short | git shortlog")
