I think I may the problem:

#define KeeperBlock(set) ((BumpBlock *) ((char *) (set) + sizeof(BumpContext)))
#define IsKeeperBlock(set, blk) (KeeperBlock(set) == (blk))

BumpContextCreate():
...
/* Fill in the initial block's block header */
block = (BumpBlock *) (((char *) set) + MAXALIGN(sizeof(BumpContext)));
/* determine the block size and initialize it */
firstBlockSize = allocSize - MAXALIGN(sizeof(BumpContext));
BumpBlockInit(set, block, firstBlockSize);
...
((MemoryContext) set)->mem_allocated = allocSize;

void
BumpCheck(MemoryContext context)
...
if (IsKeeperBlock(bump, block))
total_allocated += block->endptr - (char *) bump;
...

I suspect that KeeperBlock() isn't returning true, because IsKeeperBlock misses
the MAXALIGN(). I think that about fits with:
