My guess is that the parser has terminated the first '$(' on the
case label 'base)' while trying to skip the unwanted case clause.
Quite possibly it would all work if the $(...) were replaced by `...`
(the nested one just needs a couple of \).
However since the 'for' doesn't ever generate a subshell there
is no need for the complication.
