I can't reproduce it on a 2.05b:
  $ TT="o"; echo "l${TT:1}l"
  ll

But I can reproduce it (or at least something weird) on a 3.1.17(1)-release:
  $ TT="o"; echo "l${TT:1}l"
  lXl
(where X is a non-printable character for my terminal here, maybe multibyte)

However, I can't reproduce it on the latest build, so I assume it's fixed.
