I agree that the EXIT trap should work on {} asynchronous subshells, and I will make sure that the next version of bash does this. However, the two examples you gave don't really differ in that respect. If you take out the `kill', neither interactive nor non-interactive shells run the exit trap. The difference is how interactive and non-interactive shells handle SIGTERM. That's the place I'll have to look.
