bash < 2.05b, not < 3.2
See bash's NEWS:

[...]
This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.05b since
the release of bash-2.05a.  As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
the place to look for complete descriptions.
[...]
ee. The `echo' builtin now accepts \0xxx (zero to three octal digits following
    the `0') in addition to \xxx (one to three octal digits) for SUSv3/XPG6/
    POSIX.1-2001 compliance.


BTW: could sb check these standards if they allow to omit leading '0'?
If yes, there is serious regression. I think it breaks not only mc.
