Yes, the issue with black shadow has a solve, but agree, it looks strange, to solve in PS result of a 600 buckses renderer ))
And sorry, but where have you seen 75 samples? In this scene final render settings, samples is set to 900 as minimum. In some early Octane versions there was no such problem, just slightly noisy Shadow pass.
I didn't notice that you had overwrite settings enabled for PV. I was looking at the render settings in the LV where it was 75.
