Yes, that's expected. The event if for the queue, not directed to a specific thread.
If in future we want to think about preferably waking a specific thread we can then think about it. But I doubt that'll be beneficial. The thread specific part in the signal handling is only used to implement the SIGEV_THREAD notification.
