Have been noticing this issue as well and just wanted to follow up with some more findings:

• The bug can also be replicated on custom lobbies with bots.
• If you picked Dark Willow, you can use allied-controlled bots to target you during Shadow Realm.
• If the player, as Dark Willow, spawns a second allied Dark Willow bot, the player cannot target spells on the ally.
• Allies can still target Dark Willow if they click on her portrait icon. This works everywhere, have been using this workaround in a real match when playing with an Oracle. It's pretty awkward though and for most people it's going to require that you communicate this beforehand.
• Dark Willow cannot cast abilities on herself by clicking her model, only by self-casting (Alt/double-tap)

I also compared this behaviour to two similar abilities, Slark's Shadow Dance and Centaur's Hitch A Ride. With Shadow Dance, Slark is selectable and targetable by allies over the duration. With Hitch A Ride, the hero in the cart is selectable but not targetable by allies, and trying to cast abilities via the portrait results in a "No Target" message. It feels like there should be some consistency across these 3 abilities, not sure if there are others I've missed also.
