After some digging I found the source of the change,
which was this bug:
 
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=66
 
It updated some text on the signal() page and then copied it into
XSH 2.4.3.
 
So the conflict Rainer has identified was already there in Issue 6,
but only for signal handlers installed using signal(), not sigaction().
Obviously it made no sense for there to be different signal handler
rules depending on which function installed the handler, hence the
copying.

Thanks. I was thinking on-and-off if I should do this myself but I would
certainly have made a much worse job of it due to being entirely
unfamiliar with the processes involved here.
