I'd say "no". Such an update would affect behavior only if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, right? Normally it's not worth worrying about usage where POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, except for making sure that it conforms to POSIX. This is because POSIXLY_CORRECT is intended only for standards-conformance nerds; ordinary users shouldn't use it.
