State-Changed-Why: 
Fixing this would require a new '-e'-like option so as to avoid
breaking existing scripts relying on '-e'. The exact behaviour
of the new option is unclear and it seems an ugly solution to me.
It also looks like you have not asked bash maintainers about this.

Another alternative other than '|| exit' is 'terminating'
commands with '&&' rather than ';'.
