Basically.  There's a big difference between not eating and not eating a 
seudah.  The Rambam is clear that it's perfectly feasible to go the 
whole week of Sukkos without a seudah and without eating in the sukkah.  
If Hazal had thought eating in a sukkah on Shabbos was problematical 
they could have forbidden it, whereas it would have required a much 
higher threshhold to require fasting on Shabbos.
