I'm not so sure this is correct. Every other sh behaves
as NetBSD's did before, as as bash does.
(I've checked OSF/1 and Solaris.)

And
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/set.html
says:
-e When this option is on, if a simple command fails for any of
   the reasons listed in Consequences of Shell Errors or returns
   an exit status value >0, and is not part of the compound list
   following a while, until, or if keyword, and is not a part of
   an AND or OR list, and is not a pipeline preceded by
   the ! reserved word, then the shell shall immediately exit.

best regards
Matthias
