Sounds like a dash bug, if my reading of 2.6.2 Parameter
Expansion is correct:

We should work it around nevertheless; thanks for the patch,
Jeff.
This would be another way to work it around. Both dash and bash
say 'foo':
$ suf='^{}'
$ name='foo^{}'
$ echo "${name%$suf}"
foo
I think this might be easier to read than using "^{\}".
