These 3 presets work fine but the shuffling algorithm produces different initial setups for white and black.

I'm testing with this clone:

I see that Black and White have different opening positions. Is that what you mean?

If you want them to be the same, then you need to create a random opening position for only one side and copy it to the other side. This might be an issue for H. G. to deal with, as the buggy code might be his.
