This issue is known,

As there is currently a rewrite going on this issue will be covered.
I currently think a meaningful implementation would throw an exception
from the wait (with the mutex still locked). Either the stack unwinding
will restore the program invariant then or a user supplied exception
handler might try to remedy this situation.

Would this be reasonable?
