Just to answer my own question (for future searchers):
Effective 1 Apr 2004, Americans can NOT get instant visas at the Shenzhen Lo Wu crossing. Canadians still can. We learned the hard way.
Also, while the border crossing is open until midnight, the visa office is open only until 10:30pm. I this helps someone!
