Are you aware of the fact that Valgrind has custom instrumentation
that makes it directly capable of detecting access to no-longer-pinned
buffers? See commits 7b7ed046 and 1e0dfd16.

I think that that may be a factor here. If it is, then it's a little
surprising that you ever found the problem with ASAN, since of course
we don't have custom ASAN instrumentation that tells ASAN things like
"until I say otherwise, it is not okay to read from this range of
memory, which is this backend's memory mapping for an individual
shared buffer that was just unpinned".
