this is a bug in weston-launch:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/tree/src/weston-launch.c

it uses the users login-shell to execute shell commands.

(the bug is to asume that any login shell a user might have is sh
compatible)

it was introduced and discussed here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-April/008747.html

change your login shell, and report a bug against wayland-launch
