Maybe this should be added as a prominent warning at the top of the signal 
module docs?  While this:

"""When a signal arrives during an I/O operation, it is possible that the 
I/O operation raises an exception after the signal handler returns"""

does seem to imply what you're pointing out, your phrasing above seems to 
be much clearer about the scope and consequences of the issue.  :)
