Thanks for the report.  This is related to
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2016-08/msg3.html
but affects only those builds without job control.  I will fix it in the
devel branch with the next push.

Another clue to the nature of the bug: it apparently happens before
exiting the subshell.

$ (false && echo true || echo false)
true
$ false && echo true || echo false
false
