I think I understand now, so it is "execution" not "export" behavior
which could make use of the :shebang header argument.  I suppose that it
would be possible to allow the :shebang header argument to silently
override the value of the `org-babel-sh-command' variable when it is
present.

I just pushed up a patch which adds this behavior.  It does result in
some odd new possibilities, such as the following.

#+begin_src sh :shebang #!/bin/cat
  foo
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| #!/bin/cat |
|            |
| foo        |

Best,
