Now I understand that this is because the list of terminated child

Do you mean when no arguments are supplied? It's not. The difference is
when a job is marked as notified and eligible to be removed from the
jobs list.
If you want the behavior of 'wait -n' to be
consistent between scripts and the interactive shell, then it should
choose one terminated child process from the list of those that is
maintained in the interactive shell, if it's nonempty, to report to
the user and to clear from that list, any time it is called.
That would make it different from wait without -n.
