According to POSIX, variables set as shown above for shell functions are
not exported and retain their value after the function returns. I would
not be surprised if dash got this right, and the tests fail because they
were written for bash, which gets it wrong.
In particular,
f() { sh -c 'echo +$v+'; }
v=x f
echo +$v+
sh -c 'echo +$v+'"
Should print
++
+x+
++
I can test only ash, bash, zsh, and ksh, of which only ksh gets it right.
