In this case, you cannot send a signal to the main thread ever. That
contradicts the documentation in (info "(elisp) Basic Thread Functions")

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     Since signal handlers in Emacs are located in the main thread, a
     signal must be propagated there in order to become visible.  The
     second ‘signal’ call let the thread die:

          (thread-signal main-thread 'error data)
          (signal 'error data)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Let's see, what the bisecting tells us.

Best regards, Michael.
