Does this work if you did

	OUT=$( ( (large_git ; echo $? 1>&3) | : ) 3>&2 ) &&

instead?

Hmm, I cannot see "as described above" in your message, but isn't
that talking about a common mistake of turning cmd1 in this pipeline

	x=$(cmd1 | cmd2)

into a series of two commands, e.g. (cmd1a && cmd1b) and saying

	x=$((cmd1a && cmd1b) | cmd2)

which does make "$((" interpreted as the beginning of arithmetic
expansion?

And the "OUT=$( ((large..." construct seems to be written in order
to avoid that exact issue (notice the SP after "$(").

Puzzled....
