I didn't invent the interface.  From the look of the code it seems like the old
value should be returned regarless of the first parameter.  And I don't see how
the info pages can be interpreted differently.

If the kernel doesn't allow this then go, investigate what BSD does, and file a
bug explaining it, either with the kernel or here.  But you cannot just drop
something like "there might be a problem here" and expect other people to do the
work for you.  Nobody who is using it complained about the libc implementation
so far.
