Even in 1.3, mod_include interpreted $ in an exec cmd string as a variable substitution, and the doc warned that to include a literal $, it needed to be quoted with a backslash. The implementation probably changed in a way that made it less forgiving of having a $ not followed by the name of an existing variable, but that was never actually legal.
