all tests fail with eval: Bad substitution when /bin/sh == /bin/dash -- all pass when /bin/sh == /bin/bash

log from 2.7.5 shown and attached but 2.7.6 fails identically until shell changed

in tests/test-lib.sh:

116 if test -z "`echo -n`"; then
117     if eval 'test -n "${BASH_LINENO[0]}" 2>/dev/null'; then
118         eval '

BASH_LINENO is a bash only variable. I think we should check bash environment before running tests.
