Doesn’t this scenario apply equally to run(), or check_output() in 3.4?
I suspect the explicit p.wait() call is not needed either. The context manager should already be calling wait().
One possible problem that I can think of: if you set a timeout, then interrupt the call with KeyboardInterrupt or similar, the context manager will now wait without without a timeout. Demo:
# Hit Ctrl+C before the 3 s timeout, and it will delay 10 s
call('trap "" INT && sleep 10', shell=True, timeout=3)
