I know this isn't high priority, but it's really just a one-line change.
I don't know how but I've tracked down the "where", at least:

I think in pgrep.c
797:    if (strcmp (program_invocation_short_name, "pwait") == 0) {
must be updated to also check for pidwait, that should do it.

Workaround:

Run (once):
$ ln -s ../../bin/pidwait /usr/local/bin/pwait
Then use `pwait` instead of `pidwait`.
