I think it is so much wishful thinking that the market-makers or other shorters are so exceedingly stupid that they fail to cover any short position well in advance of the change of symbol. After all the things you refer to are well known - porbably by shorters as well if there are shorters in this stoc. So far there is no indication of covering of any short position. This suggests that there is noe sizeable short position in this stock.
