Is indeed bash in a posix mode during a startup?  This is not clear to me
and if not then errors in a service network are bash errors.  That what I
understood is the original report really about and that translation
discrepancies really point to some mixups in an implementation.  If I misread
that then we are talking about different things.

The other issue is that even if you are _allowed_ to change an undocumented
behaviour is it really _wise_ to do so after so many years of bash in use.  Is
there some requirement which forces such move?   Various destructive actions
could be substituted in the argument above because nothing said before that
something of that sort will not happen.
