I'm using a duplicate layer (png) as a shadow here and within the timeline, all works as it should.

The Active Camera view of 3D layers is the only view that will render. The other views will preview but they will not render. All other views are also isometric. There is no perspective, no vanishing point, so in order for you to get the shadow layer to show up. you had to tilt it. The angle you chose does not work with the comp camera. It's as simple as that.

If you check the other views you'll see that the camera or the layers have been moved repositioned so that the angles are not correct in t

Your cropped screenshots do not show us anything about your workflow or the comp layout. You have not given us any render settings either. Sounds like user error but you need to give us details. Select the layers in the comp, press the U key twice to show us everything you modified, then take a screenshot of the whole thing. We can probably figure it out.

As Rick said - that is a user error. you are working in Front view but views besides Active Camera are only for preview and setup purposes. So untill you setting up your comp - you see a Front view, and when you hit Render - AE starts showing what exactly is being rendered.
So just change your preview into active camera and set up your layers there.

That's awfully strange. I've rendered this previously with absolutely no issue. Why, though, do the other images render without problem?
