The key question here is how do we calculate that offset. Currently it 
is the offset to the start of the second token of the parent line. Kevin 
wants to change it, so that it would be the start of the first token of 
the parent non-continuation line + sh-basic-offset.

There are two sane ways of accomplishing that:

1. Implementing that logic inside sh-smie--indent-continuation. Just so 
we're clear, when I said "the default (smie-indent-calculation) cycle", 
I meant the default smie-indent-functions. There's generally no reason 
to introduce a new function (sh-smie--indent-continuation) into 
smie-indent-functions if the default ones are adequate for the 
job(indenting continuation lines), so that's why I've assumed that the 
default functions are not adequate for the general use case.

2. Getting rid of sh-smie--indent-continuation and implementing its 
logic and the new fixed logic within sh-smie-sh-rules. Maybe this can be 
done without opening any Pandora's boxes.
