That bug is completely unrelated to this one. Red herring.

The requirement for intercepting strlen in ld.so was to avoid lots of
false positives from Memcheck at startup. I believe it is still
necessary, and you haven't produced any evidence in to the contrary:
you don't show any results from your investigations.
