That sounds like a problem for the sysadmin's who misconfigured those
shared systems?

A domain validated certificate doesn't and never has said "This entire
machine is controlled solely by the domains specified in this
certificate", instead it says "This particular service/port on this
server is authorized by this domain to provide this service, however
this machine or even this port (via SNI) could host plenty of other
services/domains as well"
