With the frog isolated with those cuts you shouldn't be getting any shorts at all in either position. The only place you can really get a short is of the back side of a wheel brushs the open point, since on the Electrofrogs, both point rails take on the polarity of the closed one. All you should have now is a dead frog. Without the cuts you would need insulated joiners or gaps in at least both rails leading away fromt eh frog, but completely cutting the frog works too.
Got a track nail, or a cut end of wire, or something like that that worked its way down in there? Sometimes the silliest things...
