Max, could you keep the mailing list in the loop in your future replies,
so that they will be registered in the bug tracker?  Thanks.

For this time, I'm quoting the relevant part of your reply, so no need to
re-send.

Yes, I can reproduce the issue:

  $ cat > foo.sh << 'END'
  trap 'exit $?' 0
  set -e
  true ( true )
  END

  $ bash-3.2 foo.sh; echo status = $?
  foo.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `true'
  status = 0

  $ bash-3.0 foo.sh; echo status = $?
  foo.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `true'
  status = 0

  $ bash-4.1 foo.sh ; echo status = $?
  foo.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `true'
  status = 2

  # On Solaris 10:
  $ /usr/xpg4/bin/sh foo.sh; echo status = $?
  foo.sh[3]: syntax error at line 3 : `(' unexpected
  status = 0
