Comment (by eschnett):

 Yes, this seems to be the case on my system (Mac OSX). There are several
 echos available; there is /bin/echo, the bash builtin echo, and likely
 also a dash builtin echo, with dash being used as /bin/sh. My echo man
 page states that -n is available, but is not standard, and recommends
 printf instead.

 I would use : for a no-op command.
