In bash 2.05b, file parse.y, line 2179ish:

      else if MBTEST(was_dollar && (ch == '(' || ch == '{' || ch ==
'['))       /* ) } ] */
        /* check for $(), $[], or ${} inside quoted string. */

Maybe something like:
      else if MBTEST(open=='"' && was_dollar && (ch == '(' || ch == '{' 
               || ch == '['))       /* ) } ] */
        /* check for $(), $[], or ${} inside " quoted string. */

Might do the trick?

I haven't tried it. Would need testing from someone who understands
POSIX quoting in detail, to ensure it doesn't break other convoluted
quoting rules...
