Solution would seem to be use $BASH_COMMAND as Chet Baker pointed out to me off-list (thanks), except that my shell is too old.

This is a version 3.0+ feature. Mac OSX ships with 2.05b, so I'm now looking into what it takes to update the shell.

 Thanks for your reply.

 I can't see a $BASH_COMMAND (unbound variable, etc.). Maybe this is a
 v3.0+ feature? OSX uses version 2.05b.0(1)

Yes, it was introduced in bash-3.0.
