"The Grove connectors must be angled (as is on Olimexino), to permit shielding same time. Even more because they already use it on Grove shield:"
That is a good idea, though you should have been more clear that you Photo-Shopped the Seeeduino in your photo.
Seeed Studio sells a package of 10 angled (or straight) Grove connectors for 99 cents, so at least the serial connector can be changed. In any event, the connectors only duplicate pins, and don't replace them. Conceivably, many users don't use shields anyhow.
However, even if both Grove connectors are populated, you can still install a shield, with just a very small (insignificant) gap at the pin 5 end of the analog connector. The digital and power connectors fit perfectly flush, and all the analog connectors make good contact, due to the long pins used by shields.
