On my Debian system the md5sum utility is not the GNU one but is from
a different source and is included in the dpkg package. It is a
compatibility issue. As you note it does not behave this way. The
GNU md5sum is shipped on Debian as md5sum.textutils. In this
particular case bash is not involved.
I can reproduce the behavior with the latest GNU md5sum 5.3.1.
However I also don't know why it is programed that way. It is
obviously intentional.
