bash does not jump where it is supposed to jump

Please read the comments on the code below. I don't know but is it really how bash was supposed to run? The code below should only print end [ "test" = "test" ] && { # after the false command bash should jump directly to echo end # but instead run echo echo "test != test"

"Bad substitution error" is not "well" reported, when invoking and array.
