Would you mind if this were reassigned to release-notes? It would say something along the lines of "Dash is not yet ready as an interactive shell, bash is currently the only recommended posix-compliant shell. You will experience issues such as #683671 using dash interactively." In the meantime, this should be reported to the upstream dash developers so they can start working on a fix.
