These are not problems. Python has an unusual memory management scheme
that confuses valgrind. If you want to use valgrind, you'll need to
recompile python, see /usr/share/doc/python2.5/README.valgrind.gz

And you're right, it looks like this bug is already fixed upstream.
This seems to be the commit:
