This problem does not occur in pdksh.
This is intended behaviour. ksh is following the POSIX standard here whereas pdksh is not. Conditionals such as || && and if are would be useless together with set -e if the trap were triggered. So the standard says that set -e is not honored during conditonals like if, && and ||. The fact that it occurs inside a function and with command substitution makes no difference.
