I think the EV of this play depends a lot on how often short stack calls. So, how often do you think he calls? Push or fold?

This is very very aggressive. I don't think I'd do this on the bubble. If one of the larger stacks calls you, then the BB won't be pot committed and will likely take this one chance to make the money.

Really? Maybe I need to review my approach to bubble play then. I figured the 2 bigger stacks needed very good hands to call, but I guess big stack could make some stupid calls that hurt me.

I've seen it happen. They will most likely call with any pair A6+, K9+. I wouldn't risk it on the offchance a big stack really does have a good hand. This is only a good play if you get the big stacks to fold, which is what you are trying to do. But for me, too risky.

OK... so I take it shorty's in the BB here.

I'd limp and fold if one of the big stacks goes allin (whether BB calls or not).

EDIT: Btw, shorty ought to be calling here 100% of the time.
