In fact, I think it is a specific part of more general question: are we ready to officially support Valgrind? That would mean that we need to make sure any future changes in these areas do not break it, accept valgrind related bugs and regressions? My feeling is it will create more burden than it removes.
Personally, I'd cast my vote for supporting it. Valgrind has been an invaluable tool in the past, and I think it's worth bending over backwards regarding things like the PE/Unix split to make sure it keeps working.
Of course, I also think that we should make a good effort to fix bugs in the right place, and at least some of these are probably valgrind bugs, but the ultimate point is the same.
