--- Comment #1 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> ---
Thanks for your report. However, the behaviour is as designed and matches the
POSIX.1-2008 standard.

Firstly, assignments are performed after the command is expanded. Therefore, an
IFS= assignment preceding a command never affects word splitting of that
command itself.

Secondly, an assignment preceding a special built-in utility such as 'set'
remains in effect after the command completes. This explains why the second and
later commands work.

You need to set IFS before word splitting and possibly restore it later, or use
IFS=... read ... (where the assignment does affect read's splitting and does
not persist after the command completes).
