According to Eric Blake on 11/7/2006 6:35 AM:

A slight clarification: once in bash, the read-only SHELLOPTS only tracks
actions involving 'set -o', it does not track actions involving 'shopt -s'
or other back doors to affecting shell options.  I noticed this with the
'history' shell option as well as the 'igncr' shell option, so it is not
cygwin-specific; however, I'm not sure whether to call it a bug or a
feature in upstream handling of how SHELLOPTS is handled.
