Sorry about that. I took a shortcut and assumed Bosch had been sensible when designing this stuff. Normally when I see shielded wires, the ground for the shield doesn't actually connect to a pin at the connector unless there's ground in the connector already. Since the sensor plug have 3 pins, I assumed they were Hall effect sensors, but it appears from the diagram they're VR sensors. VR sensors don't need power like a Hall effect sensor does.

Lesson learned.
