If it doesn't change then ...
What I did before I went to bed last night was to use the diagnostic output pin and in the ISR right after reading the data bit in and storing it in the shift register I output that data bit to the diagnostic pin and the pin followed the data on the input pin so I know it's reading the data bit properly. It has to be something in the way we are storing the bits or displaying the bits. When I get home from work today, I'm going to try putting the serial.print inside the ISR and see if the data displays properly. I know it's advised not to do that but for a test it'll add one more bit of information to help solve this.
