Sorry about not getting back to this sooner -- I wanted to check with
some standards-minded people about this.

So, it turns out that FreeBSD returning ESRCH is considered to be a bug,
and has now been fixed:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2020-February/133736.html
I haven't found the right Linux people to ask about this -- Peter, can you
find someone in Debian who knows about such things?
In the mean time, I'm inclined to ignore ESRCH but with a comment explaining
that this behaviour is of dubious standards compliance, but it is present on
multiple platforms so we accept it anyway.
