BTW, the resut of your testcase in Linux is as follows:

231873: fork()=231874
SIGALRM x 10
[ALRM]
[ALRM]
[ALRM]
SIGSTOP
SIGTERM
SIGCONT
waitpid()...
[TERM]
231874: 3 SIGALRM received, exit(42)
waidpid()=231874, status=0x2a00

Signal-lost also happens. However, it does not hang in Linux.
So I guess SIGSTOP/SIGCONT are never lost in Linux.
