$ cat <<<EOF
dash: 4: Syntax error: redirection unexpected
$ true
dash: 4: Etrue: not found

This is with Dash 0.5.11.

It looks like the first character after the unexpected redirection operator 
mistakenly gets retained in a buffer somewhere and interferes with the next 
command to be read.

This is because dash needs to clear the unget buffer on reset.
