That's my fault for trimming too much.  Please look back to the
previous message (I don't like endless non-targetted quoting).

This part was about "set -e".

Chris points out that the limitations of -e are not obvious and
concludes that the feature is best avoided.  The main non-obvious
limitation seems to be that failing subshells don't cause the script
to stop.  Remember that pipelines include subshells.
