What Emacs version do you have?  (Based on what you said below, it
sounds like smie is being used.)

Ah, so you've set sh-basic-offset to 2, right?  That's Bug#21751.  Hmm,
it looks like the smie code is following sh-indentation instead of
sh-basic-offset.  It's not clear to me why both of those variables
exist...

When I set sh-basic-offset to 2, I get that value for smie-config as
well.

I followed your steps and got similar results.  The problem is actually
that the config doesn't get loaded properly.  It works if I then do

8. M-x customize-option RET smie-config RET

9. Modify the text of the value field, e.g., by adding a space at the
end, so that the "State" turns to EDITED.

10. Click the "Apply" button (this is equivalent to the
(customize-set-variable 'smie-config ...) expression I mentioned
before).

11. Go to the bash script buffer and run M-x normal-mode RET so that the
mode hooks are run again.

12. Indentation is correct.
