That's weird. Can you test this in each of your shells:
foo() {
echo "in foo, arg=$1"
}
VARIABLE='foo bar'
$VARIABLE
It should print "in foo, arg=bar". If it doesn't, then the shell is
broken.
Also, can you confirm that you aren't setting SHELL_PATH in the Makefile
(or in your environment) when building and testing git?

I have this same version of bash on my Debian stable box, and it passes
the test I outlined above. So perhaps there is something more subtle
going on.

I doubt they are related. This test_cmp problem is a problem in the test
harness, but it may be masking actual problems by giving false
negatives.
