This is not a bash bug, nor is it a bug at all, because sh is not bash. On
your system it probably links to a POSIX shell, and POSIX does not require
supporting that kind of substitution. Stop calling the script with sh
explicitly, and set up the interpreter line and executable bit properly
instead if you are going to use non-portable syntax.
