"if the target user's shell is a non-standard shell": the "target user" is root, and "non-standard" is defined in getusershell(3) (which basically says that it has to be in /etc/shells, which /usr/bin/bash isn't) "and the caller's real uid is non-zero": this means that if you're already root, the target user's shell doesn't have to be "standard" So you're out of luck.
