Correct, and to my knowledge there is no way to stop that effect.

Further it effects root any time root types "sh" or "/bin/sh"
and intentially invokes sh interactive for some reason,
something I do more often than I care to admit simply
cause I know what I want to do is much easier in that
shell.

It does not require root change there login shell for
these changes to effect the root account usage.
