This happens because PGFPlots only uses one "stack" per axis: You're stacking the second confidence interval on top of the first. The easiest way to fix this is probably to use the approach described in "Is there an easy way of using line thickness as error indicator in a plot?": After plotting the first confidence interval, stack the upper bound on top again, using stack dir=minus
. That way, the stack will be reset to zero, and you can draw the second confidence interval in the same fashion as the first:

You need an extra coordinates for each addplot
, since ybar interval=0.8
is used; therefore 8 coordinates only generates 7 ybar
because an interval is defined by two coordinates. The last coordinate will only be used to determine the interval width; its y value doesn't change the bar appearance. Here (65536,0.1) is appended as a dummy coordinate to serve as the horizontal end point. Since the OP did not provide \Dshadowbox
, it is therefore disable to make a run.
As a side note, if ybar interval=0.8
is removed, (that is no ybar interval plot) then the last coordinate (32768,y) will show.

LaTeX has a safe percent macro but it uses an
@
name so first give it a name without an@
.
