If I understand you correctly, you don't have control over where the shell
script argument comes from, and at the first opportunity, it's already too
late -- essential data has already been lost. Yes?

Is there any way to access the original data that gets around this problem?
Can you tell a user to act differently? You haven't said where the
information comes from, or how it gets to your script.
