FME Desktop is the only other one I have tried. It reprojects the shapefile fine, and everything lines up, so I didn’t try anything else.
FME detects the source projection automatically from the .PRJ file, and I set “LL83” as the destination projection. So perhaps I have the source or destination EPSG code wrong.
Here is the details/output from FME, maybe that will help:

Reproject: Using datum conversion type `Nad27ToNad83’
Reproject:`Nad27ToNad83’ will use the following grid shift files:
Reproject: .\GridData\Canada\ntv2_0.gsb
Reproject: The following fallback datum will be used `NAD27-48’
