Of course, because I wanted to determine whether the error was
triggered (a) at parsing time (the shell parses more code than
strictly necessary) or (b) at execution time (some problem with the
test of $MSYSTEM, which provokes the unwanted execution of
MinGW-specific code).

(It seems now clear that the answer is "a".  Thank you)
