Going by personal experience, the faint line actually seems to indicate your health under the shield; the white bar serves as a not-quite-transparent overlay.

Whether the shield actually works as described or provides pure invincibility still seems to be up for debate (some one's edited the article to indicate the latter, for example). I've never had it break myself, though I've never been in a situation where I'd expect it to, either. An indicator of how much health there was left in it, as with the guardian shield, would certainly be very useful.
