Thanks for the tip,
this was my first line of defense (I also tried escaping, e.g. "\$") but that did not change the outcome. I believe my solution is much more effective and should also be in compliance with the definition (only ${xxx} is to be substituted, not $xxx). So I still consider it a bug.
Cheers
