FWIW, I can reproduce this in the latest devel branch:

dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ ./bash -c 'trap : TERM; { sleep 1; kill
$$; } & wait'
here
143
dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ ./bash -c 'trap : USR1; { sleep 1; kill
-USR1 $$; } & builtin wait'
here
^C
dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ ./bash -c 'trap : USR1; { sleep 1; kill
-USR1 $$; } & wait $!'
here
138
dualbus@debian:~/src/gnu/bash$ ./bash -c 'trap : USR1; { sleep 1; kill
-USR1 $$; } & builtin wait $!'
here

`wait' vs `builtin wait' do not seem to be following the same code
paths. BTW, the second case (builtin wait with no pid list to wait for
causes an infinite loop here)

The prints are due to:
