> So is this a bug in ash?  Or is the imcompatibility intentional?

More likely a bug in ash (or in cygwin, but only ash stumbles upon
it).  We don't intentionally make them incompatible.  Note, however,
that bash and ash *are* different programs, so if a script relies on
some obscure bash idiosyncrasy, there's not much we can do about it.
