I had never seen double square brackets before, and it seems to work,
suggesting some kind of bash internal indeed... but as for plain
single square brackets, I thought "[" was a symlink to the
coreutils "test" command, but just saw on my FC6 workstation that this
is no longer the case and that those are two different binaries now.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29544 Apr 17 13:48 /usr/bin/test

This is all now way more complicated than I would have thought :-)
