The *-ca-bundle.crt has blank lines at the top... only a cosmetic issue, but can be fixed by e.g. adding | strings:

echo "Extracting ${FILENAME_BASE}-ca-bundle.crt"
openssl pkcs12 -in "$PFX_PATH" -nokeys -cacerts -nodes -passin env:PFXPASSWORD \
  | strings | grep -v -e '^\s' | grep -v '^\(Bag\|subject\|issuer\)' > "${FILENAME_BASE}-ca-bundle.crt"
