My own suggestion would be that for the diagrammed example, for Modern Shatranj, let the stalemate=win rule override the bare king consideration - the 'logic' being that the stalemated king will perish if the stalemated side attempts to move, whereas the bare king has freedom still. In any case, I don't know how Jose's rules enforcing preset for Modern Shatranj currently would handle the diagrammed example, after the final move is made. [edit: the preset's rules say a lone bare king is an Automatic Loss (if the other side's king isn't immediately bared), so I think I ought to take that at face value, even for the example situation I gave.]
P.S.: Alert again to CVP editors: I have an aging CVP submission awaiting review.
