Thinking again about this:

Don't you think one looses quite something if, with --foreground, one
cannot differ (via the exit status) between a timeout that allowed the
program to clean up and one (when KILLing) that didn't?


Even if the KILL happens via killing timeout itself, couldn't it just
return 128+9 in the case --foreground was enabled and the original
signal had already been sent?
Or is that technically not possible then?
