The trap command shouldn't be executed in either case. The process
substitution is executed in a subshell environment, which doesn't inherit
traps from its parent (though it inherits the trap strings; see
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_28).

The process substitution sends the SIGHUP to itself ($BASHPID), which
should cause it to terminate but not result in a signal being sent to its
parent. However, the parent is getting a SIGHUP from somewhere.

It seems like this behavior is the result of the shell being interactive.
I'll take a look.
