Per <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/trap.html>
the expected behavior is that an 'EXIT' trap is called at exit from the
shell regardless of circumstances. This appears to be a regression in
bash.
Matthias, can you follow this up, please?

Title:
Bash ignores exit trap on success when part of a command string
Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The MAAS team uses a script, lp:maas-images, which generates the
images available at images.maas.io. As part of this process we use the
following to convert a SquashFS image to an ext4 image.
sudo bash -ec 'src="$1"; img="$2"; trgmp="$3";
mounts=""
cleanup() { for m in $mounts; do umount "$m"; done; }
trap cleanup EXIT
mount -o loop "$img" "$trgmp"
mounts="$trgmp"
unsquashfs -force -xattrs -dest "$trgmp" "$src"' \
"squashimg-to-image" "$squashimg" "$output" "$trgmp"
ret=$?
rm -Rf "$mtmp" || return
return $ret
Prior to 4.4-1ubuntu1 the trap would always cause the cleanup function
to always be called. Its now only called on failure. This causes the
mount to remain and the following rm to fail. If I add 'false' to the
end of the command script or downgrade to 4.3-15ubuntu1 the cleanup
occurs.
