In fact, all these scripts are acceptable to execve(2), and the shell won't even notice the difference to a binary executable. I know that, that's not what I said. Let me repeat myself: "By the way, which is inherantly broken when executed as _any_ sort of a script. It needs to be a shell builtin or it needs to die." which(1) needs to be a shell builtin, not a sh script, not a csh script, not a perl script, (and not a binary) to work properly.
