On further investigation, this is a bug in bash3, fixed in bash4
(hence why I didn't see it on Linux).  Bash4 is now available as
"experimental" in the latest version of Cygwin.  It's a bit tricky to
install since you will also need the experimental version of
libreadline7 (package version 6.1) and the setup kind of works against
you: I've not managed to install both of them in one go and you will
need to be careful with updates since I believe setup will always try to
reverse these to the non-experimental versions unless you allow them
globally (which I don't want).  In any case, the problem with the '$( )'
construct is indeed fixed and the next Cygwin release will hopefully
have this new bash as standard.
