I'm sorry, this bug report is erroneous.
The csh startup script did indeed output an escape sequence, so make was absolutely correct.

With the attached makefile, when I do

make |& cat -v

I get the output

make: *** No rule to make target `^[]2', needed by `file'. Stop.

which names a target containing an escape character; that is wrong, since such a target is not mentioned in the makefile.
Perhaps the long $(shell ...) result string is causing a buffer overflow.
