First of all, I'd like to direct your attention back to the original email in this thread, by A4-Tacks: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2024-01/msg00132.html <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2024-01/msg00132.html> That looks a lot more like a bug, and I'm sorry I distracted from it with my statement questioning what shell-expand-line was doing in the more general case.
You didn't distract. I just haven't gotten to working on that yet.
