I cannot reproduce it.  Are you sure you're not running into the
bison problem described in item 17 of NOTES?  The parser gets rebuilt
when --enable-minimal-config is used -- chances are good that when
you built bash using the default options, it used the (working) versions
of y.tab.c and y.tab.h shipped in the bash-3.2 tarball.
