The original Nashorn behaviour is actually almost as intended. The documentation of the execve function states that the argument to the executable on the shebang line is (1) optional and (2) only one that should not contain any whitespace. Execve is documented at http://linux.die.net/man/2/execve - the relevant section is the one on Interpreter Scripts.
