Public bug reported:

Consider the script:

    cd flibbleflob/.. 2> /dev/null || echo splat

(Assuming that the flibbleflob directory does not exist) the 'cd' should
fail and so "splat" should be sent to stdout.  And on bash it is:

    bash -c 'cd flibbleflob/.. 2> /dev/null || echo splat'
    splat

But with dash, no output:

    dash -c 'cd flibbleflob/.. 2> /dev/null || echo splat'

disappoint.
