On OpenBSD, at least, this is true. I haven't tried FreeBSD.
If bash is using named pipes of the form /var/tmp/sh-np-* or /tmp/sh-np-*
then the compile-time options or detection must have failed to find a
usable /dev/fd/ subsystem. (My HP-UX workstation is littered with
sh-np-* FIFOs in BOTH /tmp and /var/tmp.)
