If that is what happens there is misparsing at an earlier stage:
Matching
${run <options> {<command arg list>}{<string1>}{<string2>}}
onto
${run{/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}}}

yields <options>, {<string1>} and {<string2> as empty or missing and a
"<command arg list>" of "/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}".

It does not make a difference whether this <command arg list> is expanded after
or before splitting.

Another proof of something fishy going is that setting the "preexpand" option
which is supposed to bring back the old behavior does not help.
