The short answer is "no" - if a shield takes a hit, the Blast Marker is ignored.

The long answer is from the FAQ:

Q: Do hits stopped by Shields still cause an additional BM if the weapon had the Disrupt ability? Similarly do hits on Grot units by Disrupt weapons cause an additional BM?
A: Shields and Grots negate the BM caused by an attack, but are lost themselves in the process. This means that they do negate the BM inflicted by Disrupt weapons.

The same would hold true for any unit, such as Chaos daemons, that do not generate a Blast Marker when they are destroyed.

In effect a Blast Marker is placed either when the hit is scored or the damage inflicted, but then the BM is removed when the shield goes down or the Grot is killed. Note that in both cases there is no save allowed against the hit, so any hit will automatically result in the shield or Grot being lost.
