I guess one further option is to fix the bug in bash, and then call valgrind with --trace-children=yes. Maybe that would be cleanest and simplest (albeit we'll need a workaround until fixed bash is widely available).

​I tested bash 4.4, and got exactly the same problem.

I see there's a Debian bug open for this issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849517

I get the bug if I do a build of bash from GNU sources (i.e. it doesn't seem to be a Debian patch causing the problem). I can't find anything about this in the bug-bash archives (there is discussion of other valgrind diagnostics, but not this one), so I've reported a bug there.
