I understand that Valgrind should properly indicate to bash/dash/ksh
the fd range which is usable.

Valgrind reserves a part of the fd range for its own use.
This reserved part should not be visible to the client
(i.e. valgrind ensures that the syscall getrlimit 
returns a range not including the reserved for Valgrind).

How is bash/... guessing that they can use such
a reserved fd ?
