Yes, indeed.

But I was wrong: The fix only affects the '!=' variable assignment, the
':sh' modifier and the ':!cmd!' modifier, but not the way an ordinary
command is run in compatibility mode.

As a quick workaround, you could run with -j1 and disable the check for
"unsupported parallel mode".

Or you could run "make -n > mdi.sh" and then run "sh mdi.sh" manually. I
never tried it that way, but I guess this is supposed to work.
