Luckily, coreutils dirname works, so that isn't > a problem. How far back does the coreutils bug extend? We already proved it was a regression introduced some point after sh-utils 1.16. Is there a chance that the user's coreutils could be so old that basename is also rejected by m4sh? At which point, maybe we DO need to teach _AS_EXPR_PREPARE to reject the broken coreutils expr in favor of sed? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
