What happens if give the coproc a name that is *not* a command you're
using?
I suspect that "bc" is an alias, and given that you can omit the NAME of
a coproc, bash is expanding the first use of "bc" as an alias, because
it might be the first word of a simple command.

I can't reproduce this. What does `type bc' produce?

Re: coproc does not work with a lower case variable name
never seen, and i never coproc uppercase
i suspect your bc is a half complex alias
