Don't go there -- you are trying to do an analysis of the venue for litigation in the international context. That's one of the most complicated things you can do in the international private law. I have two law degrees, one from U.S. university dealing explicitly with the international law, and still I wouldn't be very sure what the result of such analysis is. However, it is highly probable in my opinion (and I have been out of the legal practice for couple of years, so don't take this as a lawyer advice) that your suggested transaction structure would have no effect on the ability of American plaintiffs to sue Red Hat in USA.
