Sorry, this last example was bogus, I meant:
( bash -ci 'command_not_found_handle { $(:); }; nonexistingcommand &')
however:
(bash -ci 'command_not_found_handle (:); nonexistingcommand &)
seems to close my ubuntu session...but I cannot reproduce this everywhere
bash neatly exits, saving history and everything
