Bash has no way of distinguishing ``my stdin isn't a tty because I'm
an rsh'' and ``my stdin isn't a tty because I'm running under Emacs
and there are no free ptys'' or ``my stdin isn't a tty because a human
being typed "bash -c 'some command' </dev/null" ''.

A bug with a workaround is still a bug.
