You are running into some singleton assumptions in the new magics system -
each Magics class methods are only registered once, and thus bound to the
first Shell that load the magic.

So what you are seeing is that shell.magic("load_ext rmagic") is actually
triggering the load_ext magic on the *original* IPython instance.  I think
this should be considered a bug.
