In my understanding saying "that's a shame" is equivalent to "that's really too bad," and not, "you should be ashamed of your self."
Maybe my interpretation isn't that common? (pause to google)
Apparently it is the common accepted meaning:

Asking someone to be ashamed of not having entirely elective knowledge isn't "live and let live." Nor would that strike me as being likely to be productive. Instead, you should describe how desirable and rewarding that knowledge is.
