Exactly what byte offset in the 'configure' script contains the 
offending text? That is, if the 'configure' text looks like this:

... and the "export SHELL" line ends at byte offset 4096, then I'd guess 
it's a buffering bug in the shell. If the shell is actually ksh93 I 
wouldn't be surprised.

That also would explain why an older GraphicsMagick doesn't see the 
problem: the line in question happens to not appear exactly at a buffer 
boundary.

Of course I'm just guessing.

You might try running 'bash ./configure' instead of './configure'.
