I don't think so:

# bash -c "true" | od -xa
0000000

# bash -c "parted /dev/hda quit" | od -xa
0000000 5b1b 313f 3330 6834
        esc   [   ?   1   0   3   4   h
0000010

It seems to be coming from parted.

# type -a parted
parted is /usr/sbin/parted

# file $(type -p parted)
/usr/sbin/parted: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), 
stripped

# ldd $(type -p parted)
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7fba000)
