Interesting thread. I am curious to see what others think.
I have always assumed that VFR flight following does not provide
transition services to facilities that aren't on their field.

You assume wrong. They are supposed to.

I guess I was assuming that since Shaw Approach provides approach
functions for Mc Entire, that I was OK having two way communications
with Shaw Approach (or that Shaw Approach would tell me when to switch
if I needed to switch).

You assumed rightly. That's how it's supposed to work.

I run into this getting flight following around the OHare Bravo, and
crossing through DuPage's Class D.

I've heard this before about these specific facilities, but that's
not how it's supposed to work. If you have radar services, they're
supposed to coordinate the class D transition.
