Oliver simplified a bit; there's an eval in the first case as well,
which complicates the issue:

              elif [[ "$action" = \{*\} ]]; then

                # A string in braces is evaluated.

                while _next_label "$subc" expl "$descr"; do
                  eval "$action[2,-2]" && ret=0
                done
                (( ret )) && alwopt=${alwopt:-yes}
	        tried=yes
              elif [[ "$action" = \ * ]]; then

                # If the action starts with a space, we just call it.

	        eval "action=( $action )"
                while _next_label "$subc" expl "$descr"; do
                  "$action[@]" && ret=0
                done
                (( ret )) && alwopt=${alwopt:-yes}
	        tried=yes
