Apparently there are recipes in the wild which generate files with filenames containing '$' characters - which cause errors during packaging.
Instead of adding another special case to escape '$' characters when constructing the command passed to oe.utils.getstatusoutput(), switch to using single quotes to quote the path - and therefore make isELF() consistent with the way filenames and paths are quoted by every other caller of oe.utils.getstatusoutput() in oe-core.
