No, I think it's a botched paraphrase. Issue 7 says "By default, the
jobs utility shall display the status of all stopped jobs, running
background jobs and all jobs whose status has changed and have not
been reported by the shell." and the description for set -m agrees;
"all jobs whose status has changed and have not been reported by the
shell" are background jobs terminated since the last prompt.
