An alternate explanation is that somehow the shell is forgetting that
SIGINT is trapped. I don't see how or why that would happen, but I
don't have enough information to determine whether that's the case.

The above scenario doesn't suggest that SIGCHLD is being delivered at
all. The shell is doing a blocking waitpid for a specific pid.
