Quoting is necessary in a few cases:

$ var=foo; declare -A "arr$var=([x]=y)"
bash: warning: arrfoo=([x]=y): quoted compound array assignment deprecated
$ var=foo; declare -A arr$var=([x]=y)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
$ var=foo; declare -A "arr$var"=([x]=y)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I don't think this should be the default behaiour...
