--- Comment #3 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles at FreeBSD.org> ---
I think you are right; the formulation "Each variable assignment shall be
expanded prior to assigning the value" is not compatible with our behaviour to
expand everything before assigning anything.

On the other hand, a=$b b=$a U where U is not empty and neither a special
builtin nor a function can still place swapped values in the utility
environment (although it is not required to).
