The errors that you saw when you tried it, say that valgrind does not yet support it.
By the way, which version of valgrind?  Which hardware?  Which compiler(s)?
Which C run-time library?  And what was the exact text of the first relevant
complaint from memcheck?

The surest way to make progress is to submit a New bug report at
    https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=valgrind
and attach two test cases with actual code: one with "standalone stack co-routine",
and one with "copy-stack co-routine".  Supplying actual code, and the recipe
to build executables from it, is vital.  If the behavior that you saw
cannot be reproduced by a valgrind developer, then it is likely to be
a long time before anything gets fixed.
