Well, I just found another workaround that will probably be even better for us. Simple setting the envrionment variable _AST_FEATURES to 'UNIVERSE - att' causes echo to revert to the behavior we want (I this worked by calling getconf in a ksh environment but didn't know how to set it via an environment variable). I've added it to our /etc/profile on our test system and this appears catch all of our cases.
