Could you give a simple script to reproduce this?  For example:

        cat <<-\EOF >testme.sh
        if /bin/false ; then
                echo hi
        fi
        EOF

        head -c $(( $(wc -c <testme.sh) - 1 )) testme.sh >nonl.sh
        chmod +x nonl.sh
        bash ./nonl.sh

does not print "hi" here.

Thanks for reporting,
Jonathan
