That's all completely up to whoever decides to use this combination of CLONE_* flags. It might mean that SIGIO cannot be used and that fuser cannot be used. But so what? That might be acceptable in that situation. What isn't acceptable is providing wrong information to the program. And this is not using a pointer to the kernel thread does.
Of course it could be redefined as "point to the process group leader" but I'm not sure whether this and introducing "/proc/task" or so is worth the trouble.
