I would guess it's to do with the fact that with IGNORE_BRACES (or
IGNORE_CLOSE_BRACES) set, which is old sh style, "}" needs to be in
command position.  I suspect it's not needed in native mode.

There's no case where ']]' needs to be special in command position, only
at the end of a specially parsed condition.
