All engines run in a separate thread and some of the engines have multiple threads themselves again (win32 and dnotify) as far as I can see from a quick grep. However these threads could be delivering their signals directly instead of delivering them through the event-queue, so there is actually a way that the blocker really blocks signals. But if the used backend is actually not triggered by the OS directly when a filesystem change happens, i.e. if it takes a few ms for the OS to notify the watcher (and thats definetly the case for the polling backend) then signal blocking will not work.
