I found the cause!
A package that I installed (hxtools-profile) that was needed by some 
other package
was the source of the annoyance - it installed 
/usr/share/hxtools/hxtools_profile.bash
which is linked to by /etc/profile.d/z_hxtools_profile.sh
and is executed by /etc/profile, contained most of the annoyances.

Another script virtualenvwrapper.sh also in /etc/profile.d contained
the non-standard redirection &>FILENAME which bash declares to e non 
standard
and is interpreted as >FILENAME 2>&1

Package python-virtualenvwrapper-4.3.1-1.fc20.noarch is what installs 
/etc/profile.d/virtualenvwrapper.sh

I deleted the packages that ultimately needed these 2 shell scripts.
Good thing no other packages needed them :)
