FWIW, on 10.10.5 [1] this gives essentially the same result as the prior program,
the signal handler seeing the same sign extended 24 bit value:

$ ./posix2
received SIGCHLD (20), si_pid: 2281 si_status: -6946094 si_code: 1
SIGCHLD: si_status in struct siginfo should be 1234567890 (0x499602d2) but is -6946094 (0xff9602d2)
ret: 0 si_pid: 2281 si_status: -6946094 si_code: 1
si_status in struct siginfo should be 1234567890 (0x499602d2) but is -6946094 (0xff9602d2)

Mind,  one should probably assign the handler to sa.sa_sigaction, as someone
could implement the struct w/o both fields in a union.

As I recall,  there are also other bugs in OSX to do with poll() handling,
so that would be another area where the conformance tests fall short.
