I understand it extremely well.
>proposed patch affect your scenario? This is not about CONFIG_SHELL,
It is. Straight from your diff:

>+ /bin/sh /bin/bash /bin/ksh /bin/sh5 "$CONFIG_SHELL" "$SHELL" no; do
This makes $CONFIG_SHELL no longer the preferred POSIX shell.
This breaks when a system has a /bin/sh that passes all gnulib
tests (and thus is used as POSIX_SHELL) but has other bugs that
make it unusable, for example. The user can then no longer over‐
ride this bad choice of the configury.
