Oozemorph shifter and breaking the laws

(SU) An oozemorph’s base form is not that of her race but rather that of a protoplasmic blob that has the same volume and weight. An oozemorph treats her creature type as both ooze and her base creature type from her race for the purposes of effects targeting creatures by type (such as bane weapons and a ranger’s favored enemy). In this form, the oozemorph is immune to critical hits and precision damage and can’t be flanked. However, she has no magic item slots and she cannot benefit from armor; cast spells; hold objects; speak; or use any magic item that requires activation, is held, or is worn on the body.

A shifter who ceases to revere nature, changes to a prohibited alignment, or teaches the Druidic language to a non-druid or a non-shifter loses all her supernatural abilities. She cannot thereafter gain levels as a shifter until she atones (see the atonement spell).

If you become an ex shifter how does this ability work

A. You're you again

B. You're stuck as an ooze

I lean towards A, but i've seen people who argue for B.

As things stand, it's A. You get your blob base form from 'Fluidic Body (Su)', so you lose it when you 'break the rules'. It funnily enough also turns off in an antimagic field, meaning that the section on 'reverts to this formless state in an area of antimagic' can never activate as it also turns off in an antimagic field.

IMO they should turn your base form into an EX ability and give out stats for it.

[James Risner]

You lose Fluidic Body, so you no longer have a base form.

What is the rules basis for those suggesting B?

The shifter in question disappears in a puff of logic, and reappears when the player decides to give them a class that doesn't have such existential problems.

And here I thought the book disappeared until the developers clear up unknowns... like me.

To invoke Schrödinger, we'd have to put the book in a box and dump a pile of errata on it and close the box: then the book is both fix and not fixed at the same time! ;)
