Case 2 (the actual behavior) is correct.  Quotes *within* words are ignored, only a leading quoted string will result in a separate word.  (That's recursive: try '"Do""This""Separate).

That said, we don't really care about non-posix mode, it's just there for backward compatibility.  I don't know why we haven't changed the default for shlex.shlex to posix=True.
