Description:
Internal 'echo' command doesn't handle I/O errors on close file when I try
redirect
standart output to mounted filesystem without free space.

Try redirect stdout of echo command to mounted filesystem without free space
[user@host ~]# echo "bla-bla-bla" > /mnt/fs/out.txt
[user@host ~]# echo $?
0
i.e. it means that all ok, but operation was failed.

Try the same action for /bin/echo
[user@host ~]# /bin/echo "bla-bla-bla" > /mnt/fs/out.txt
/bin/echo: write error: No space left on device
[user@host ~]# echo $?
1
valid behaviour

Strace show that errors from /bin/bash were ignored:

[user@host ~]# strace echo "bla-bla-bla" > /mnt/fs/out.txt
