Seems it doesn't work. I have applied your patch, run that bash in 
gnome-terminal, close the terminal. In gdb I set a break to atexit() and 
maybe_save_shell_history() functions. Bash receives SIGHUP, I say 
continue, bash again receives SIGHUP, again continue and bash ends. gdb 
is saying: Program terminated with signal SIGHUP, Hangup.

In man page of atexit:
NOTES
       Functions registered using atexit() (and on_exit(3)) are not 
called  if
       a process terminates abnormally because of the delivery of a signal.

so I guess it won't work.
