I found the same problem, and have reverted to
bash3.2 until it's sorted out.
Like you, I wasn't able to find discussion of this on
the lists I subscribe to - although I'm sure it's going
on. Looking through the diffs in
/usr/ports/distfiles/bash, the bracketed form of
command substitution appears to be a long-
standing problem in bash40-xxx.
The back-tick `command` form works as it should,
but not the Posix-style $(command) form, as of
GNU bash, version 4.0.10(1)-release
