So the problem is only when it's posted as a publication in a Facebook profile.

We really have no control over that. I had hoped that reconnecting would kick them in gear, but it appears the ball is now in Facebook's court.

Up until now only Google+ has changed both - the image and the short description.

If this is a temporary problem, I decided to go on with my new domain because, after all, I think that you're right.

If the same link is shared, they just pull info from the cache.

The last time I checked, it seems like it took them a week to flush the cache, but in some cases having someone who is not a friend share the link seemed to refresh the cache. I can't even begin to guess why that worked (it makes no sense), but it did in 4 out of my 5 tests.
