Summarizing: Opinion so far is that this is a problem in Bash, not
in cat.
I've created bug report 000213 with a minimal description and a
pointer back to this thread in the mail archive. Considering the
obscurity of this bug and its unlikelihood of having a substantial
adverse impact on anything or anyone (at least as far as its
currently known parameters go), together with more pressing
priorities, it's probably best to let this one sleep until the next
time someone is working with Bash.
