Shamira is summoned if you defeat a bane with the Demon Attribute
I assume that if the bane you defeated was itself summoned that this further summoning would be void? (I believe that's a golden rule?)
Yes IMHO because that is the virtue of golden rules.
Not the Golden Rule, but a rule nonetheless:
Summoned cards cannot cause other cards to be summoned.
The use of "cause" here simply means that the summoned card plays an integral part in the summoning of another card, not that the summoned card itself is doing the summoning. So, defeating a summoned Demon would cause Shamira to be summoned, however we have the above rule that prevents that.
However scenario rules overrule the rulebook etc, so I was getting my ducks in a row. :)
Yup! You were right with your first guess. Scenario trumps the rule book, but the golden rule is that nothing trumps "can't."

It's actually nothing trumps "never" -- can't only overrides can if both are on cards; however in this case it isn't a matter of anything trumping anything else: the scenario is not trying to override the rule book but rather just tells you to summon a thing. The rule that summoned things can't cause other things to be summoned remains uncontested and is applied.
