@Jilles: The mention of "Bourne Shell" was in error, because I didn't
know at the time that /bin/sh was Dash.

Title:
Inconsistent output from Bourne Shell "type" command
Status in “dash” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: coreutils
I just found that two subsequent calls of "type bash" resulted in two different results. Here's the complete verbatim (anonymized BASH PS1) output from the session:
user at machine:~/path (master)$ sh
$ type foo
foo: not found
$ type bash
bash is /bin/bash
$ type foo
foo: not found
$ echo $1
$ type foo
foo: not found
$ echo $?
127
$ type bash
bash is a tracked alias for /bin/bash
$ type bash
bash is a tracked alias for /bin/bash
$ type foo
foo: not found
$ type service
service is /usr/sbin/service
$ type -t bash
-t: not found
bash is a tracked alias for /bin/bash
$
