That matches what I see on Linux, I also see

+ SHELL=/bin/sh
+ echo=echo

Your eval is doing something odd, is it stopping at the pipe?  Note that I see
extra `+'s, maybe the value of echo is not being expanded inside the evaled
backtick expression for you?

Note how the expression you get passed to eval is quoted differently, I have
single quotes around the entire expression, and a level of escaped double
quote marks for the value assigned to lt_SHELL.  Maybe you have found a
quoting bug in the code that builds the eval line?

Mine continues:

+++ sed -e 's/^X//' -e 's/\([\\"\\`$\\\\]\)/\\\1/g'
++ lt_SHELL="/bin/sh"

| + lt_SHELL=`print -r
| config.status[527]: X/bin/sh:  not found
| + $Xsed -e $sed_quote_subst`\
| config.status[527]: $Xsed:  not found

Again, a variable set in the parent shell doesn't appear to have propogated
into the eval environment...

Does this give you a bit more to go on?  What happens in the equivalent
section of libtool-1.5, or 1-5a from before 2003-10-21?

Cheers,
        Gary.
