State-Changed-Why:
Suspend this PR as the current behaviour (while not exactly desirable) is
allowed by POSIX and isn't really a bug. Of course a nice patch would be
gladly accepted.
# 2.12 Shell Execution Environment
#
# Additionally, each command of a multi-command pipeline is in a subshell
# environment; as an extension, however, any or all commands in a pipeline may
# be executed in the current environment.
This means forking, executing read and setting variables in a sub-shell is
allowed.
Other shells implement this extension, FreeBSD's does not.
