I feel like that's most of the way there. I would argue 'wait -n' without arguments should include the "last-executed process substitution, if its process id is the same as $!," in the set of running child processes it'll wait for, at least. Just for the sake of consistency with 'wait' without arguments.
You could have looked at the actual commit, which contains the change log,
which says
- wait_for_any_job: check for any terminated procsubs as well as any
terminated background jobs
wait_for_any_job is the function that backs `wait -n' without arguments.
Right now the code that restricts it to the last procsub is commented out.
