Unlikely that we will, but in fact very little of the current test suite
is a "test for tricky redirection on command lines" (or maybe it's there
and we skip the test...I'll have to look).
The patch that I posted for doing "2>&1" is included in the _RC1
distribution...about the only place we were having problems with
redirection in the test suite it was coming from "2>&1", and it seems
unlikely that trickier constructs will be used in the rest of the
test suite that isn't specifically checking them.
