Looking through existing bug reports for something similar to my
freshly reported problem #382798 (bash builtin echo fails to cope with
signals arriving at the wrong moment) I suspect that #332881 has the
same root cause:

* Note that the the (useless) use of <(cat ...), twice, causes two
  subprocesses which will run asynchronously with the cmp.
* If one or both of these subprocesses terminate at the right moment,
  just as `echo' is executing, echo's write(2) is interrupted.  This
  causes (I suspect) echo to fail.
* Since the script has no `set -e' (a serious mistake by the
  submitter) it carries on blithely, despite the lost output.

Ian.
