You are aware that InstantFPC isn't interpreting the source file in the 
sense of e.g. a Basic interpreter? It only strips the shebang and 
invokes FPC with the parameters passed in the shebang. Afterwards the 
resulting executable is started using the parameters that were passed 
when invoking the script.

If you still want FPC to ignore a shebang on the first line, you are 
always welcome to provide a patch and then it can be discussed whether 
this patch should be included in trunk.
