I did some extra testing on this bug today.
I compiled and installed the latest procps-ng (3.3.10) on Ubuntu 14.04 i386,
and it sees the problem:
greearb@
System command failed: ERROR: system command "pkill -f my-funky-cmdline" terminated with signal 15
my-system rv: 15
greearb@
pkill from procps-ng 3.3.10
greearb@
But, exact same procps and test-pkill code works fine on Fedora-20:
[greearb@v-f20-32 ~]$ ./test-pkill
System command failed: ERROR: system command "pkill -f my-funky-cmdline" had return code: 1
my-system rv: 256
[greearb@v-f20-32 ~]$ pkill --version
pkill from procps-ng 3.3.10
[greearb@v-f20-32 ~]$
