Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

The SHELL variable is not to be trusted, since e.g. dash (my system’s /bin/sh) 
in a bash will have SHELL=bash. I tested this command: "help set >/dev/null && 
echo ok". Bash prints ok but dash gives an error. This test worked for versions 
2.4 up to 3.2.

Narnie, perhaps you have a /bin/sh configuration problem?

Is there a test for this in test_subprocess? If not, we should add one.
