Open3.popen3 treats string command differently than MRI #2767

Given open3_bug.rb:

require 'shellwords'
require 'open3'

command = "ruby -e 'puts ARGV.inspect' #{'a[1:1]'.shellescape}"
puts `#{command}`

Open3.popen3(command) do |_, stdout, stderr|
  puts stdout.read
  puts stderr.read
end

Notice the different output on JRuby compared to MRI 1.8.7 and 2.2 (suggesting that MRI has always behaved this way):

➜ chruby 1.8.7
➜ ruby -v open3_bug.rb
ruby 1.8.7 (2013-12-22 patchlevel 375) [i686-darwin12.5.0]
["a[1:1]"]
["a[1:1]"]

➜ chruby 2.2
➜ ruby -v open3_bug.rb
ruby 2.2.0p0 (2014-12-25 revision 49005) [x86_64-darwin12.0]
["a[1:1]"]
["a[1:1]"]
➜ chruby jruby
➜ ruby -v open3_bug.rb
jruby 1.7.8 (1.9.3p392) 2013-11-14 0ce429e on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609 [darwin-x86_64]
["a[1:1]"]
["a\\[1:1\\]"]

The escape characters are treated as part of the argument itself when it gets back in ruby on JRuby but not on MRI.

Works as expected in JRuby 9000, which has completely reimplemented process spawning.
