Even when test is interrupted the tearDown is executed, only the deadline for the post-execution is shortened to 1s and I agree this might not be enough. Let's discuss that in the previous thread.

Not that I know about (except of your own timekeeping which does not make sense). The right way would be to propose change of TIMEOUT_TEST_INTERRUPTED: https://avocado-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/core/avocado.core.html#avocado.core.runner.TIMEOUT_TEST_INTERRUPTED

Yes and it is handled like one (internally we send SIGTERM to the test and start test post-process which waits for the test to run the tearDown, report the status and to die).
