This is a kernel limitation. It's the kernel that parses the shebang (to
the shell, it's just a commented line since it starts with a #
character). It's the kernel that limits the shebang line to two words.
It has nothing to do with bash nor dash.

Title:
  Env fails on command line arguments

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This simple script works fine with env:

  #!/usr/bin/env python3
  print('Works')

  However if you add a command line argument to the Python 3 executable
  it fails:

  #!/usr/bin/env python3 -tt
  print('Does not work.')

  The error message printed is this:

  /usr/bin/env: python3 -tt: No such file or directory

  This exact same piece of code does work on OSX. It should work on
  Linux too, as the man page says that you can pass arguments to the
  command:

  SYNOPSIS
         env [OPTION]... [-] [NAME=VALUE]... [COMMAND [ARG]...]
