You would need to use a sieve rule on "user at example.com" to somehow 
redirect/fileinto the message to "shared at example.com".

You cannot do exactly what you ask without a sieve rule.

Consider what would happen if you had both "foo at example.com" (shared 
folder) and "user/user.foo at example.com" (folder "foo" under the user's 
inbox).  If send email to user+foo at example.com, which mailbox should Cyrus 
put it in?
