Stefan, it sounds like the first example is some left-over from old
handling of signals?  I don't see a "function key" named 'signal'
bound anywhere in the global map.  So the 1st example above should
only work if 'signal' is a prefix key bound in the global-map, right?

  (keymap-lookup global-map "<f1>")
    => help-command

but

  (keymap-lookup global-map "<signal>")
    => nil
