Indeed it's never really been set up to be a dynamic option at all, more
as a way of querying whether a shell has job control, although turning
it off at the start of a shell is probably consistent.  This hasn't been
documented, though.  I can believe there are numerous oddities around if
you start trying to turn it on and off.
