Beer fine for you Thomas for copying email-addresses in the reply :-)

Looking at Linux tty line discipline reveals the VMIN and VTIME are 
ignored if O_NONBLOCK flag is set.

         if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
             up_read(&tty->termios_rwsem);
             tty_buffer_flush_work(tty->port);
             down_read(&tty->termios_rwsem);
             if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
                 if (test_bit(TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, &tty->flags)) {
                     retval = -EIO;
                     break;
                 }
                 if (tty_hung_up_p(file))
                     break;
                 /*
                  * Abort readers for ttys which never actually
                  * get hung up.  See __tty_hangup().
                  */
                 if (test_bit(TTY_HUPPING, &tty->flags))
                     break;
                 if (!timeout)
                     break; *<= EXIT HERE if VTIME == 0*
                 if (file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK) {
                     retval = -EAGAIN; *<==== EXIT HERE*
                     break;
                 }
                 if (signal_pending(current)) {
                     retval = -ERESTARTSYS;
                     break;
                 }
                 up_read(&tty->termios_rwsem);

                 timeout = wait_woken(&wait, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, *<=== 
BLOCKING HERE!*
                         timeout);

                 down_read(&tty->termios_rwsem);
                 continue;
             }
         }
