I suppose

 ... | { exec <&- ; ... }

is useful for causing the upstream pipeline to get SIGPIPE and exit,
without waiting for the rest of the shell construct to finish.  Still,
that means the (previously) defined behavior is that anything spawned
by the rest of that construct has its stdin closed, so it still would
make more sense to require (syntactically enforce) { exec </dev/null }
here, if that was really the intent.
