I disconnected the wire going into the back of the alternator and the battery light went out so I guess that isn't shorting. The voltage at the wire seems to be a little over 10 volts - I was expecting closer to 12 - could that be a problem?
As far as the shop testing of the alternator I am not sure exactly what they did. It only took them a minute and I could kind of see them through the door at the back of the shop - I think they just connected the alternator up to a belt, applied a voltage to the field coils, spun it and checked it was putting out a decent voltage or maybe a current under load.
Perhaps that isn't thorough enough testing?
I'll throw my alternator back on tonight in case it was some sort of intermittent problem. If that doesn't prove to be the case, I guess my next step is to try a new (rebuilt) alternator?
The belts and pulley seem fine, the grounds look OK (and I don't seem to be having any other electrical problems), so I am running out of possibilities!
