Well, that is the semantics of sigreturn(). It is essentially setcontext() [which includes the actions of sigprocmask()], but with restrictions on parameter placement (at least on x86).
You could introduce some setting to restrict that aspect for seccomp processes, but you can't change this for normal processes without breaking things.
