Hmmm.... (a) is particularly strange.  Here's my attempt to reproduce
the script (note linewrap fixups), which doesn't show the issue:

 bash-4.1$ uname -a
 Linux starbuck 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 15 03:36:55 UTC
 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 bash-4.1$ 
 bash-4.1$ crm -v
  This is CRM114, version 20090807-BlameThorstenAndJenny (TRE 0.8.0
  (BSD))

 bash-4.1$ 
 bash-4.1$ crm '-{window; output /HERE YOU GO!\n :*:_arg1: \n :*:_arg2: \n :*:_arg3: \n/;}' foo bar
 HERE YOU GO!
  -{window; output /HERE YOU GO!\n :*:_arg1: \n :*:_arg2: \n :*:_arg3:
  \n/;} 
  foo 
  bar 
 bash-4.1$ 
 bash-4.1$ cat > crmdebug.sh
 crm '-{window; output /HERE YOU GO!\n :*:_arg1: \n :*:_arg2: \n :*:_arg3: \n/;}' foo bar
 bash-4.1$ ./crmdebug.sh
 bash: ./crmdebug.sh: Permission denied
 bash-4.1$ sh ./crmdebug.sh 
 HERE YOU GO!
  -{window; output /HERE YOU GO!\n :*:_arg1: \n :*:_arg2: \n :*:_arg3: \n/;} 
  foo 
  bar 
 bash-4.1$ 
 bash-4.1$ chmod a+x crmdebug.sh 
 bash-4.1$ ./crmdebug.sh 
 HERE YOU GO!
  -{window; output /HERE YOU GO!\n :*:_arg1: \n :*:_arg2: \n :*:_arg3: \n/;} 
  foo 
  bar 
 bash-4.1$ 

So, I honestly don't know what's wrong.  It seems to work fine, command
line args appear correctly both when typed in on the command line, and
when executed as part of a shell script.  But if something was causing 
everything to get bunched all together, then your second bug would
follow logically (i.e. the initialization scripts would not create
the .css files in the right places, and you'd see a failure).

What happens when you try to run the megatest script?  Does Megatest
pass?
