start-process-shell-command is neither documented as an API to
`system', nor implemented by using `system'.

No, it isn't. It does something similar, but the similarity to what
`system' does is not documented, and `system' is not used in its
implementation.

Even if did use `system' (which it doesn't), any behavior that arises
as a consequence of undocumentated implementation details of
`start-process-shell-command' would need to get documented.
