Comment (by vbraun):

 I still don't understand why you get EIO. This means something is
 seriously foobared, no? When sage quits the other end of the pipe should
 be closed, resulting in EPIPE.

 My theory is the following: the Sage expect interface can use temporary
 files to redirect stdin/out and this is where the problem lies. If you run
 with `sage --nodotsage`, this temporary file is on `/tmp` (see
 `SAGE_TMP_INTERFACE`). The tmpfs on sage.math has some bug that is
 triggered when you put pressure on the virtual memory, when most of the
 swap is locked in anonymous mmaps.
