What I see (in 5.2, and 5.3 alpha 1) is:

jacaranda$ bash-5.3a1 -c '( kill -9 $BASHPID )'
bash-5.3a1: line 1: 29765 Killed                  ( kill -9 $BASHPID )

I have no idea what you think that "9" is useful for, IMO it is a
waste of space, and just confusing (and yes, I know SIGKILL is 9).

It's what macOS returns from strsignal(). Take it up with Apple.
