Add:
echo "${1+$@}"

run 'make' and you'll see what's going on. The line continutation shown below 
tricks Bash into treating 'echo `echo` script executed' as an argument 
belonging to the previous command instead of treating it like a new command.

I'd recommend changing the makefile from:
> 
> all:
> 	source='There is no bug in BASH!' \
> 	$(SHELL) ./script \
> 	echo `echo`script executed

to

> 
> all:
> 	source='There is no bug in BASH!' \
> 	$(SHELL) ./script
> 	echo `echo`script executed
