Hi Assaf,
Thank you for the report.
What versions of valgrind and gcc are you using -- and what type of system?
On a fedora rawhide system with the following valgrind and gcc
versions, that test passes for me:

  valgrind-3.10.1
  gcc version 6.0.0 20150727 (experimental) (GCC)

I confirmed that it also passed with stock gcc:

  gcc version 5.1.1 20150618 (Red Hat 5.1.1-4) (GCC)
