    Says it all:

    $ jobs
    [39]- Stopped fg (wd: ~/jp-hash)

    I've seen a bash bug where the names reported by the jobs command are incorrect. I don't recall the details, but this looks familiar. Try
    `jobs -l` to see the process id, then `ps` (if and only if you're
    sufficiently curious).

    I've seen a bash bug where the names reported by the jobs command are incorrect.

    I quite recently reported something in this area to the bug mailing list.

    I've seen a bash bug where the names reported by the jobs command are
    incorrect.

    The issue is that starting in some version of Bash 5, an interactive, backgrounded command which is computed, for instance:

    command $var "$@" &

    will show in "jobs" as literally the above the unexpanded syntax, rather
    than the expanded command that was actually invoked.
