I think you misunderstand his issue. His issue is not "valgrind reports a spurious error/warning". His issue is "-DPURIFY does not do what I think it's supposed to do". Perhaps my recollection is incorrect, but my recollection was that "-DPURIFY" was supposed to make OpenSSL not process uninitialized data with code precisely like that suggested here, accepting that there might be some reduction in the amount of entropy that OpenSSL gets in exchange for having only one switch to flip. The "-DPURIFY" flag is used precisely this way in other projects, shutting off all manner of 'optimizations' that interfere with tools like Purify, valgrind, and others.
