Not only \n ... also on \r:

64-@@ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.46(6)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)
...

64-@@ set -o igncr
64-@@ echo $SHELLOPTS
braceexpand:emacs:hashall:histexpand:history:igncr:ignoreeof:interactive-comments:monitor
64-@@ PS1='$(date)\n# '
bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token 
`)'
bash: command substitution: line 1: `date)'

# PS1='$(date)\r# '
bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token 
`)'
bash: command substitution: line 1: `date)'

HOWEVER:

# PS1='$(date)\012# '
Tue Aug 30 19:36:15 CEST 2016
# PS1='$(date)\012\n# '  # <==== \n!
Tue Aug 30 19:36:21 CEST 2016

# PS1='$(date)\012\r# '  # <==== \r!
Tue Aug 30 19:36:26 CEST 2016
#

Perhaps this may help ... in finding the error.
