I am not sure why we are talking about bash here, the shell used is
/bin/sh which can be any shells, right?
Are you sure the shell from the parent system is used? I could not
find this documented anywhere.
How do you explain that installing bash or adding a sh->dash symlink
inside the chroot helps then?

To Allan : did you find any scriptlets which actually worked without
bash installed? Even the most basic scriptlet not doing anything does
not work here.
