I haven't been following Peter's evidence on this point, but I thought I'd
mention Robert Holmstedt's paper at SBL San Antonio on the diachronics of
אֲשֶר )$R. He did discuss the usage of אֲשֶר )$R vis-à-vis שְ $ in Late
Biblical Hebrew, but I'm not sure I recall his conclusions exactly. I do have
a note that Huehnergard had a forthcoming article "On the Etymology of the
Hebrew Relative שְ $."
