Sure, output here:

Definitely something funny going on there.
Inserting a space so it's $( echo y) and the test passes.

$ bash -cvx '
echo $BASH_VERSION
test $( echo y) = y || exit 1
test -z "$EXEEXT" && exit 9
shopt -s expand_aliases
alias a-b="echo zoo"
v=abx
     test ${v%x} = ab \
  && test ${v#a} = bx \
  && test $(a-b) = zoo \
  && exit 9
'

echo $BASH_VERSION
+ echo '3.1.16(1)-release'
3.1.16(1)-release
test $( echo y) = y || exit 1
echo y
++ echo y
+ test y = y
test -z "$EXEEXT" && exit 9
+ test -z ''
+ exit 9
