There is no bug here.

  | if source command.sh ; then

  | command.sh contain 'set -e' at start. so command.sh should exit once detect 
fail.

Once again, -e is bizarre, and stupid, and really shouldn't be used
almost anywhere.

Here the issue is that when a command is run as the condition of
an "if" -e doesn't apply (you wouldn't want it to).   What people
fail to understand is that this applies to absolutely everything
in a function, or source'd script - -e simply does not apply if
you use it in a context like that (or one of the others where
-e is inapplicable).

Just find another way, avoid -e, you'll waste much less time
than attempting to fight against the -e rules in order to save
yourself some effort checking that everything which should work
does work.   The latter seems like it should be harder when you
start out ("-e will just solve all that") but it *never* turns out
that way.
