Actually it's not a bug in bash at all. The bug is the combined effect
of how bash behaves and how the NSS functionality is implemented inside
glibc.
AFAIR "fixing" bash would make it incompatible with existing user
scripts. So it would have (almost) all of the drawbacks of the
bash->dash transition without none of the benefits.
