exporting 3D Postgis layer to shapefile loses the Z value

Original Redmine Issue: 12373
Affected QGIS version: 2.8.1
Redmine category:vectors

I have noticed that when exporting from a DB layer (PostGIS and SpatiaLite) with 3D features (i.e. PolygonZ, LinestringZ)
to a shapefile it has only x,y coordinates and not Z.
This doesn't happen with loaded 3D shapefiles which are correctly exported as 3D shapefiles.

I didn't receive any error message.
I did the export using "save as" and DB Manager and the result was always the same (Z coordinate is missing)
