I don't think the bash folks disagree, but as always the question is
what to do about it:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/fc.html
says that
If the HISTFILE variable is not set, the shell may attempt to access
or create a file .sh_history in the directory referred to by the HOME
environment variable.
and indeed by experiment with bash 4.2.45, that is exactly what happes
with HISTFILE unset and using "bash --posix".
So (probably) you can't win.
