I downloaded the RHEL6 srpm, and it appears to be patched to
automatically disable pymalloc when running under valgrind (via
disable-pymalloc-on-valgrind-py26.patch). That explains why you're
seing the problem, but skink isn't (it's running debian).

*Release date: 2010-08-16*
+- Issue #2422: When compiled with the ``--with-valgrind`` option, the
+ pymalloc allocator will be automatically disabled when running under
+ Valgrind. This gives improved memory leak detection when running
+ under Valgrind, while taking advantage of pymalloc at other times.
