That is not guaranteed for any particular piece of Python code in the standard 
library. In particular it is not amenable to test automation, so it is 
certainly not a requirement that tests pass in this mode. (What is the *use 
case* for running a command line argument parser in interactive mode?)

I'm certainly not opposed to fixing tests so that they do pass when run like 
this, but I disagree that it is a "bug".
