I confirm the circuit works as showed in your screenshot.
Il looks like the problems arises from the placement of the AC source that yields awful results when placed like I did.
I've to check more carefully the subject to understand what is wrong.
Thanks
P.S.
since I suspected something is wrong in your measurement method I made a quick transient test, switching between 5mA and 1A on 25V output and the output goes awry... huge oscillations... see below

Measurement method?? - That is the question! :)
I took the LT/ADI method - see the link above.
You previously did with a simple AC sweep.
Your oscillation - are you using zero ESR output capacitors?
Below with "real capacitors", no oscillation, a small ringing w/ 160mVpp amplitude..

That is a different method but should yield similar results.
I used models of real capacitors too...
I also tried to add a resistor of 0.5 ohm in series to each capacitor with no result.
BTW this is LTspice XVII x64 Jun 15 2018 running in linux.
I tried both alternate and normal solver, 4 threads and single thread.
No matter what I try I always get oscillations.
Might that depend on the TL431 model I'm using here ...? :-//

iMo:
Here is the latest LTspiceXVII, and with the latest Bordodynov library (LTspiceXVII_2018Dec21.zip).
Below the TL431s offerings..
PS: tried with several TL431 models and got similar results as above..
And the library is here, for the latest download go to "Additional links :"

I think that C1 and R17 should be made larger, I'd start with 1uF and 1K
