Sorry, I think I have been confusing.

This:

date
echo a | while read ; do
  sleep 3 &
done
wait
date

will run in 0 seconds, with BOTH /bin/sh and /bin/bash

This:

date
while read ; do
  sleep 3 &
done < <(echo a)
wait
date

will run in 3 seconds with /bin/bash and get syntax errors with /bin/sh:
syntax error near unexpected token `<'
`done < <(echo a)'

$ /bin/sh --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.46(6)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)

I believe all is ok.
