Change your technique to get rid of the pipeline, change your shell to ksh, or live with the empty array. These are your options. Sorry, but you can't keep the pipeline, bash, and the array contents. One has to go. Here is a simple script to illustrate the problem...
Code:
$ cat script2
#! /usr/local/bin/bash

echo "cat
dog
mouse
rabbit
lion
wolf
dog
bat
lion
hamster
rabbit
elephant
elephant
whale
cricket" > list.txt

index=0
cat list.txt | while read item ; do
                array1[index]=$item
                ((index=index+1))
done
echo array1: ${array1[@]}

exec < list.txt
index=0
while read item ; do
        array2[index]=$item
        ((index=index+1))
done
echo array2: ${array2[@]}
exit 0
$ ./script2
array1:
array2: cat dog mouse rabbit lion wolf dog bat lion hamster rabbit elephant elephant whale cricket
$

ksh is the only shell I know that will populate both arrays. This is one of the reasons that I strongly prefer ksh to other shells. (The other is ksh co-processes.) So my suggestion: switch to ksh.

ARRAY_DIFF_UASSOC(3)							 1						      ARRAY_DIFF_UASSOC(3)

array_diff_uassoc - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check which is performed by a user supplied callback function

SYNOPSIS
array array_diff_uassoc (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...], callable $key_compare_func) DESCRIPTION
Compares $array1 against $array2 and returns the difference. Unlike array_diff(3) the array keys are used in the comparison. Unlike array_diff_assoc(3) an user supplied callback function is used for the indices comparison, not internal function. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array to compare from o $array2 - An array to compare against o $... - More arrays to compare against o $key_compare_func - The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. int callback (mixed $a, mixed $b) RETURN VALUES
Returns an array containing all the entries from $array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_diff_uassoc(3) example The "a" => "green" pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the output from the function. Unlike this, the pair 0 => "red" is in the output because in the second argument "red" has key which is 1. <?php function key_compare_func($a, $b) { if ($a === $b) { return 0; } return ($a > $b)? 1:-1; } $array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red"); $array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red"); $result = array_diff_uassoc($array1, $array2, "key_compare_func"); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [b] => brown [c] => blue [0] => red ) The equality of 2 indices is checked by the user supplied callback function. NOTES
Note This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using, for example, array_diff_uassoc($array1[0], $array2[0], "key_compare_func");. SEE ALSO
