I'm pretty sure they call that a "feature". This is a bit different.
This is modifying the command used to call a function as the feature
intends. The vulnerability was that just parsing the environment would
execute the code.

TL;DR; You should cleanse your environment and only accept valid input
to work around this feature. The bash developer (Chet) said he would not
remove it by default, at least a few days ago.
