    I've seen a bash bug where the names reported by the jobs command are
    incorrect.

    I quite recently reported something in this area to the bug mailing list.

    The issue is that starting in some version of Bash 5, an interactive, backgrounded command which is computed, for instance:

    command $var "$@" &

    will show in "jobs" as literally the above the unexpanded syntax, rather
    than the expanded command that was actually invoked.
