Unexpected EINVAL from pthread_join

It seems that a signal can cause pthread_join to incorrectly return
EINVAL. I debugged it only a little but hopefully someone finds this
useful:
In the file thread.cc, function pthread::join, the call to cygwait may
return WAIT_SIGNALED if a signal is sent to the process. The switch
statement handling the return value assumes that only WAIT_OBJECT_0 and
WAIT_CANCELED are possible. The default section of the switch statement
has a comment "should never happen" and it returns EINVAL. It might be
that the problem occurs only when SA_RESTART isn't used.
