I had understood it's fixed in trunk. Might have been backported to 
4.9.

I'd just add the relevant reports to a default suppressions file for 
the system and never worry about them again. Unfortunately, there is 
also undefined behaviour in libstdc++ which triggers a clang 
undefined behaviour sanitiser report every program run which cannot 
be easily suppressed, but is also apparently fixed in 4.9 - until 
then you have to use sed to filter the reports so the CI reports 
green :(
