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.

(Boy, would I make a good bureaucrat, or what!:o)
