My money would be on a missing "/bin/cat".

If "/bin/cat" is missing and the kernel causes the script to fail
because of this, then the "#!" mechanism is indeed working, so the
test should pass.  Most likely a "hardened system" would also be
working too (unless it disabled "#!/bin/sh", which would be hard to
believe -- but in that case we'll need to see the system before we can
port Autoconf to it).
