In ${root_rw_mount#[Yy][Ee][Ss]} with root_rw_mount=YES, the substring
operation results in an empty string, which is removed because there are
no quotes. This makes the test expression invalid.

The result, with /firstboot existing, is two messages "[: =: unexpected
operator" and an attempt to mount / read-only.

Fair enough.

It probably makes sense to change etc/rc.d/root to use checkyesno. This
ensures behaviour with invalid values is exactly the same.
