Okay. After consulting your MSDN reference, I'm willing to believe that
win32 only offers signal(), which resets the signal handler. I think
APR could work around this behavior by wrapping the application-provided
signal handler, but I'm not sure it would be easy to do so in a
thread-safe manner, so I won't insist that the right fix is for APR to
provide consistent behavior.

I withdraw my -1 on resetting the signal handler from within the signal
functions in Subversion.
