Thanks for the report. This was fixed a couple of months ago in the devel branch.

Additionally, the following produces no error message with "bash" but produces the error message with "bash -i":

[[ "$(\
echo str)" ]]

the following produces no error message with both "bash" and "bash -i":

[[ "$(
echo str)" ]]

For the following script "bug.sh":

[[ "$(echo str1 \
str2)" ]]

The error message "line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'" is produced when executed with "bash -i bug.sh"

Works fine with Bash 4.4, "bash -i bugh.sh" produces the error message on Bash 5.1, from 5.1.0 through 5.1.8, but "bash bug.sh" does not produce the error message.

Each of the following does not produce the error message:

[[ $(echo str1 \
str2) ]]

test "$(echo str1 \
str2)"
