I get the same behavior with and without your patch, tested with both
bash and dash.  (FWIW, /bin/sh on my systems is a symlink to /bin/dash.)

% printf '#!/bin/bash\nexec /no/such/file\n' > foo.sh
% chmod +x foo.sh
% ./foo.sh; echo $?
./foo.sh: line 2: /no/such/file: No such file or directory
./foo.sh: line 2: exec: /no/such/file: cannot execute: No such file or directory
126
% printf '#!/bin/bash\nexec /no/such/file\n' > foo.sh
% ./foo.sh; echo $?
./foo.sh: line 2: /no/such/file: No such file or directory
./foo.sh: line 2: exec: /no/such/file: cannot execute: No such file or
directory
126

% printf '#!/bin/dash\nexec /no/such/file\n' > foo.sh
% ./foo.sh; echo $?
exec: 2: /no/such/file: not found
2
% printf '#!/bin/dash\nexec /no/such/file || exit 1\n' > foo.sh
% ./foo.sh; echo $?
exec: 2: /no/such/file: not found
2
