I experimented a bit. See the attachment. The first 3 dumpit outputs are expected. The next 2 are not. The last 2 show what I would have expected from the previous 2. The $' inside the [] is being used up but not in any way I expected. Clearly, $'\t' is not representing a tab character, nor is it just using the $ as a character in its own right.
