I take it you're still using 2.0.42? This (mis)feature was expunged
in 2.0.43. Here's the relevant info from the ChangeLog:

2.0.43
       [...]
       16. Removed implicit Exec exec stuff for the time being, until I
           come up with a better way to do it (back to old behavior)
       [...]

2.0.42
       [...]
       9. Made Exec use $SHELL, like mwm, if ExecUseSHELL is specified,
          plus Exec now does an explicit "exec" as the first arg (if it's
          not there already), to eliminate extra processes
       [...]
