It could be the "{fd}<foo" feature, which according to
http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/NEWS was introduced in 4.1:

----
This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.1 since
the release of bash-4.0.

[...]

p.  If the optional left-hand-side of a redirection is of the form
{var}, the shell assigns the file descriptor used to $var or uses $var
as the file descriptor to move or close, depending on the redirection
operator.

Yijun, I think using "10" unconditionally would work (i.e. replace {fd}
and $fd with 10).
