Also tested on OSX 10.8.2. It'd also be enlightening if someone can tell me why this error occurs on Ubuntu 12.10.

Make interprets each section as an sh script. In Ubuntu, bash was recently replaced (as the sh interpreter) by the "smaller, faster, less-feature-rich" dash shell. My guess is that this syntax was a bash extension that isn't supported by dash.
