Okay, so this is is a bug in Facebook Messenger. If you have disabled your Facebook profile, but continue to use Messenger, you cannot Share items in Facebook chats. Re-enabling your FB account results in Share items appearing properly to recipients, in fact they load in the conversation even without reloading. There is some sort of requirement that things you share are proxied/hosted from FB proper when included in a FB messenger chat.
