I think this is just to show the bug. i.e. these two should do the same:

dualbus@debian:~$ bash -c 'for (( ; $(($(:))); )); do :; done'
bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
bash: -c: line 0: `for (( ; $(($(:))); )); do :; done'

dualbus@debian:~$ bash -c 'for (( ; $((`:`)); )); do :; done'
