Where can I get a breadboard with pin spacing specifically designed for an Arduino shield?
You won't, mostly because they stuffed up the design and the headers are not on a .1" pitch.

It would be very convenient if there were a row of holes outside of the vertical headers that were elecricly connected to the header pin beside it.
Very true, and I think I have see a board or two with that feature.

I think I just found the answer to my question with regard to pin spacing to allow use with standard breadboards. Have a look at this product, seems to just what I was wishing for...
You would only need a few of these offset hearders provided you did not use them permanently. At the price, It's not a problem either way.
