    Brackets are metacharacters in a regex and need to be escaped (and put in a character class if you want to match either one):

    regsubst($::env, '[\[\]]', '', 'G')
    

    Your version was only matching the exact string [].

    In a regex, [abc] means “Match one of the following: a, b or c“.
