IMO, sit-for should never be interrupted by input coming from a
subprocess (that is what accept-process-output is for), and code
which relies on that behaviour is wrong.
Did the old sit-for really wake up when process input came in?
It was never supposed to -- that would have been a bug.
But I don't recall seeing any reports of such a bug.
The bug was that input events that did not correspond to any
real input could wake it up. But process output does not
work by generating input events.
