The "function " keyword is a bashism and not needed, this breaks
my test run with dash as /bin/sh (same thing in t1007).

I guess we have different bash versions/options, because this breaks for
me in bash (3.1dfsg-8 from Debian etch).  It would need -e to handle to
handle escape sequence, but that's a bashism, too.

Use printf "$@" here instead.

So yes, this test was broken in both dash and bash for me without the
above fixes.
