tr breakage

This script snippet, when run on host with coreutils tr:

#bb=./busybox
echo \"$(echo "$foo" | $bb tr -d '[0-9a-zA-Z]')\"
echo \"$(echo "$foo" | $bb tr -d '0-9a-zA-Z')\"
echo \"$(echo "$foo" | $bb tr -d "[:alnum:]")\"

returns the expected result: " ".  But running the same with bb tr
(uncommented bb):

	BusyBox v1.13.4 (2009-05-05 15:10:24 CEST) multi-call binary

returns:

""
" "
"bc 123"

Does anyone else see this behaviour?
tr from trunk bb gets things right.


Cheers,
