I had the same bug, resolved it the same way, but was too lazy to report it. By the way it wasn't only a problem for init scripts (which however was quite problematic, preventing the system from booting correctly), but also for some other scripts. Typically the iceweasel command which is a shell script didn't work, whereas running directly the binary was not a problem. Potentially it could affect more scripts.
