I also dispute your claim that the behavior is forbidden by standards, For example, the Single Unix Spec http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/select.html saith If SA_RESTART has been set for the interrupting signal, it is implementation-dependent whether select() restarts or returns with [EINTR]. and since we set SA_RESTART for most everything, we are exposed to the implementation dependency.
