> I still get unexpected results:

You are absolutely right. My tests succeeded because I tried your
script on -CURRENT, where this bug was fixed a few weeks ago.
The fix to -STABLE was MFC'd last week:

Revision 1.31.2.3
Branch: RELENG_4

MFC: BASESYNTAX, DQSYNTAX, SQSYNTAX and ARISYNTAX handles negative
indexes.
     Allow those to be used to properly quote characters in the shell
     control character range.

PR:		31627

so updating your /bin/sh with the latest -STABLE version should resolve
your problem.

Thomas.
