With Bash 3.0.0.16_1, fdescfs not mounted:

#wc <(cat /etc/motd)
      24     161    1122 /var/tmp//sh-np-3354758488

zsh, fdescfs mounted:

%sudo mount_fdescfs fdescfs /dev/fd
% mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1g on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates)
devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local)
fdescfs on /dev/fd (fdescfs)

% wc <(cat /etc/motd)
      24     161    1122 /dev/fd/11
