It seems that if a trap handler for a terminating signal resends its own signal (after resetting the signal disposition), any configured EXIT trap will be executed (as I think is expected), but only if an EXIT trap had already been set prior to the the first instance of a trap having been set for the terminating signal in question.
That is, this script will print "EXIT": trap 'echo EXIT' EXIT trap 'trap TERM; kill 0' TERM kill 0 Whereas this one will not: trap 'trap TERM; kill 0' TERM trap 'echo EXIT' EXIT kill 0
