[Bug 892317] [NEW] set -e reverses order of signal handlers

Public bug reported:

When `-e` is not specified, an INT signal handler runs before an EXIT
signal handler; when -e is specified, the EXIT signal handler is run
(but only one of its statements) and then the INT signal handler is run.

:;  /bin/dash < ./trap.sh 
^Ctrapped: SIG_
trapped: EXIT 2
next part
:;  /bin/dash -e < ./trap.sh 
^Ctrapped: EXIT 130
trapped: SIG_

With `bash --posix` or `busybox sh`, the order of signal handlers is the
same no matter whether `-e` is specified or no. Please see the attached
script, `trap.sh`.
