Yes, but at least

is not true or I misunderstood... PTRACE_INTERRUPT doesn't lead to
group-stop, it stops the tracee individually.

And you if you get PTRACE_EVENT_STOP and WSTOPSIG() == SIGTTIN after
PTRACE_INTERRUPT, you know that the tracee did not report the "new"
SIGTTIN.

Or I missed your point?
