I did not believe this either and I just tried it out, but it appears to
be correct…

I thought the file /etc/shells only controls what you can set as a login
shell. Why does Terminal.app even check there if you tell it to execute
a command from AppleScript? It opens a new window running the default
command specified in preferences without problems, but the command
passed from AppleScript is not executed.
