Why does passing arguments to the command in an env invocation not work?

I have a shell script to run node with some arguments like so:

#!/usr/bin/env node --harmony_proxies
...

This works fine under OS X but in Ubuntu it errors with:

/usr/bin/env: node --harmony_proxies: No such file or directory

Node is definitely installed and on the PATH since if I remove the --harmony_proxies flag it works fine. Is there some different way of passing arguments when using env in Ubuntu?
