As Etaoin Shrdlu said, bash does not even start /etc/profile. Below grep
on strace output on bash:
$ grep profile /tmp/bash.trace
$
$ # My comment, it got nothing
$ grep bashrc /tmp/bash.trace
open("/etc/bash/bashrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
read(3, "# /etc/bash/bashrc\n#\n# This file"..., 2540)

Hi,
I was surprised to find that in man bash the reference to initialization
files is wrong. The bash manual says it reads initialization files from
/etc/profile:
FILES
/bin/bash
The bash executable
/etc/profile
The systemwide initialization file, executed
