Hmmm... Well, at least we know it got set.  Doing a little test on
this sol10 box:

  partain@slimy% ksh
  $ test -e ~/foo
  $ type test
  test is a shell builtin
  $ test -e
  ksh: test: argument expected
  $ test -e /dev/ptmx
  $ echo $?
  0
  $ 

In summary: it makes no sense at all :-(  Unless you have some other
program called 'test' in your PATH and it misbehaves in just the right
way... I doubt it.

What if you change your <CONFIG-SHELL> setting for solaris to /bin/bash?
I mean, if you've *got* a /bin/bash, I would expect GNU stuff to be
very bash-friendly.

An unsatisfactory answer... I hate things like this :-)
