Won't necessarily work if the result is not a simple command, though…
FWIW:
tg_AT_blau:~ $ cat >x1
#!/bin/sh
printf 'echo "Hello\tWorld!" | hexdump -C\n'
tg_AT_blau:~ $ cat >x2
#!/bin/sh
eval exec "$(./x1)"
tg_AT_blau:~ $ chmod +x x?
tg_AT_blau:~ $ ./x2
00000000 48 65 6c 6c 6f 09 57 6f 72 6c 64 21 0a |Hello.World!.|
0000000d
So the tab is kept when you put Ross’ suggestion into double quotes.
