No! That one is caused by:

FIND_PREFIX = 
TOOLS_PREFIX.gs={ghostscript,ghostscript-afpl,ghostscript-esp,ghostscript-gnu}>=6.01:C/=.*$//}

.for i in ${FIND_PREFIX} ends up generating/expanding:
    ${U:TOOLS_PREFIX.gs={...}...}
And the :U code takes the first '}' as terminating the modifier.

I need to change the .for code to escape the first '}' (as it would a ':')
however the code needs moving :-( currently the substitution string is
generated before we know whether the substitution is a ${} or $() one
and the character needing escaping changes.

Expect a fix later today...
