Should we do something to plug this, and if so, what? If not, should we document the danger?
I am not sure if I really understood the intention of the question correctly, but if the question was if pg should try to work around misuse of signals, then my answer would be a definite no.
IMHO, the signal handler should check if the signal was received for good reasons (as proposed by Noah) and handle it appropriately, but otherwise ignore it.
