It's been around forever, and it's a bash default installation issue. It's just that all sane distributions will change the default.

Sounds like debian forgot to do that when upgrading to bash-3.1.
The magic incantation is hidden in the bash FAQ (E2):
	You can build a version of bash that will not report SIGPIPE errors
	by uncommenting the definition of DONT_REPORT_SIGPIPE in the file
	config-top.h.
and I still don't understand why it's not the default. Oh, well.
