See:

$ sleep 20
^Z
[1]+ Stopped sleep 20
$
$ auto_resume= sleep
sleep: missing operand
Try 'sleep --help' for more information.
$
$ echo $(auto_resume= sleep)
bash: fg: no current jobs

$

`auto_resume= sleep' has the same effect as `auto_resume= command sleep' in
a
command substitution but I think it shouldn't; I'd expect a command to
behave
the same way both inside and outside `$(...)'.

This is reproducible on 5.1.0(14)-beta too.

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look.
