You've found it!  This message:

says that now XaAES always adds ARGV to the environment.

I don't think XaAES ought to do this, because it will break any calling 
sequence that includes:
1) a program that doesn't understand the extended ARGV protocol
2) a subsequent child program that does understand the protocol.
