It isn't *broken*. It works exactly as advertised.

foo=$(bar) runs `bar' and assigns its output to the `foo' variable. There's no
reason for the _command substitution_ (that is, $(bar) ), to be preserved after
that.
It's hard to tell what an appropiate "solution" would be here, since everything
is worked as documented. Perhaps if you explain your goal clearly?
