Looks as expected for me.

I think that's wrong.
Sourced scripts are no subshells and hence inherit all variables from
the script which sources it, including but not limited to $@, $*, $0,
$1, $2, etc. And I'm sure there are tons of scripts which rely on this
feature.
The second sourcing of script2 just overrides $@ and friends.
Regards, Axel
