Should this parameter really matched to the original horizontal resolution of the game?
If so, shouldn't there be an "auto" feature that tells MAME to simply match the count to the original game's resolution?

1st) There is no reason that it should be tied to either the games resolution or to the resolution that MAME is outputting. It is a basic/constant property of the CRT monitor that you're trying to simulate.
2nd) Despite the above, currently the shadow mask x count does depend on the games resolution. It shouldn't, though. It's just a little broken.
3rd) As you probably know, tyhe fact that it is a little broken is what makes you have to set it to different values depending on the game/system you're running in MAME/MESS.
Maybe some day it will be fixed. I don't know if the shader is being passed enough information to fix it by just editing the "post.fx" file.

So as long as the feature remains broken, should this be set to the game's original resolution or to a multiple of it?

This behavior has been confirmed by MooglyGuy
