That's either a system misconfiguration, or a feature, as documented clearly in xterm(1): Xterm validates shell programs by finding their pathname in the text file /etc/shells. It treats the environment variable “SHELL” specially because (like “TERM”), xterm both reads and updates the variable, and because the program started by xterm is not necessarily a shell. -- Greg A.
