} Is there any reason?

If bash really "restores the trap to the default behavior, in case it was
ignored" then I think bash is wrong because "the default behavior" is to
exit on the signal.  It should instead continue to ignore it, as requested
by the caller, as would have happened if the caller directly exec'd the
process instead of passing through bash along the way.

The patch I just sent for Src/signals.c sidesteps the issue in the way I
previously mentioned: without changing the eventual handling, it holds
SIGINT undelivered until some other signal interrupts signal_suspend().

Hmm, looking at the #ifdef flow and considering that this affects MacOS,
maybe the change in my patch needs to be in the BSD_SIGNALS section,
either instead or as well.
