I don't think it's specific to arithmetics. I rather think the redirection (since it's part of the simple command, not the pipeline) happens in the subshell. The side effects affect the arithmetics, of course. J. PS: I don't know if that's worth to document, I would have epxected that behaviour. But I may be wrong anyways.
