Thanks for reporting. Exporting SHELL form /etc/profile was suppossed
to add functionality, not to break anything :-/
Anyway, since base-files doesn't know if your shell is /bin/bash, or
/usr/local/bin/bash or any other, I think I have to remove it from
/etc/profile.
Will be fixed in base-files-4.0-8

Sorry for the inconvenience.
