The engineer working to resync our ksh93 with the latest upstream code from
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh has confirmed this is already fixed upstream
for the ksh builtin.  From a quick look, this appears to be thanks to
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/commit/93e15a303585df3ecf8184818f2d5ff569ff2ba1
but https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/issues/313 notes that work remains for
other builtins.
