    This turned out to be easy to fix. The routine producing the "$-"
    expansion failed to skip options for which there is no option letter,
    but only a long-form name. In dash, 'nolog' and 'debug' are currently
    the only two such options. Patch below.

In bbox ash, pipefail is the option which exhibited this.
