The way pacman calls the scriptlets, it actually uses the shell from the _parent_ system. I know this for a fact, because Dan and I investigated, added checks for bash in the chroot, then realized it didn't matter and reverted it.

Are you _sure_ it's bash failing like you suspect? What happens if you just install vi and library deps in a chroot and try to run things manually?

If you have a command like find .... -exec somecommand {} \; then find might actually call "/bin/sh -c somecommand" to get proper shell expansion. Other programs could do so as well. This will require a shell to be present in the child system.
