I've the following script:
set -eE
on_error() { echo ERROR ERROR; }
trap on_error ERR
if [ -n "$(echo $1 |grep a)" ];then
echo "input contains 'a'"
fi
When executed under bash-4, on_error is evaluated as part of the
expression in the 'if'. This does not happen in 3.2:
amit0 ~ # bash --ve
f shell when -e option is in effect to reflect
consensus
of Posix shell standardization working group.
Thanks,
Amit

Seems like I've erroneously switched between bash versions exhibiting
the difference. It's 3.2.39 that evaluates 'on_error' when catching the
trap.
From the start:
# bash-4.0_p28/image/bin/bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.0.28(2)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
