I thought about it. The problem is that few lines above there is a comment (in getFD()):

  // Handle "-" as stdout. Note that when we do this, we consider ourself
  // the owner of stdout. This means that we can do things like close the
  // file descriptor when we're done and set the "binary" flag globally.

and all such stream are created with ShouldClose flag explicitly set to `true`. Should we remove all this stuff?
