You're right --- I was using HIST_VERIFY which works OK now and I didn't
realise there was another problem.

This will be an effect of the history substitution turning up in the
wrong place (hence you're seeing it on stdout which you shouldn't) owing
to the interaction with the nested parsing.  That'll take somewhat
longer to sort out.
