The problem lies in that some of the functions have a hyphen in their
name (for example "linge-newline ()").  Something like "linge_newline
()" should be detected correctly.  If I'm not mistaken, POSIX requires
that shell function names only contain alphanumeric characters or an
underscore; support for hyphens could be a Bash extension.

One way to fix the issue could be to extend the
sh-imenu-generic-expression alist in sh-script.el with a specific regexp
for bash that accounts for hyphens (and any other character that Bash
may support in function names).
