Yea, somehow, I suspected it was because there's no formal spec :)
I guess technically it's an enhancement, but given that configuration dictated by third-parties can break the environment, it does feel like a bug.
For example, I can't use a python app to authenticate to github via netrc because of how heroku says I have to configure my netrc.
Also, there are probably two subtly different issues:
1. a machine with a password but no login breaks parsing
2. a machine with an unrecognized key breaks parsing
