Ah ha! I can reproduce the problem frequently now with the makefile below, both with the patched make on NetBSD and as nbmake on macOS.
I cannot reproduce any problem, not even left-over intermediate files,
with bmake-20200524nb1 from pkgsrc on macOS.
However the problem does exist with bmake-20200710 and bmake-20240414,
both hand-built on NetBSD.

#
# When it fails, if it behaves the same as I see in a NetBSD build, then there
# will be one or more .int files, and for each there might also be an empty
# associated .obj file too.
#
# A left-over .int file means the script ended early, and that shouldn't happen
# -- all scripts should run to completion.
#
# An empty .obj file means something interrupted the script and that causes
# errors as it is an incorrectly built, incomplete, product file.
#
# prevent Ksh or NetBSD sh from running any user-controlled setup
#
# This should speed up builds where $ENV is accidentally set to a valid
# pathname. Even in running this test it appears to shave off about 1/3 of a
# second of user CPU time, and maybe as much as half the system CPU time. (In
# my own setup with a login shell of Ksh, it is set to a variable expansion that
# fails, but this should still speed up builds by avoiding having to try to
# parse and expand it.)
#
# Note by default on NetBSD the default shell used by make is /bin/sh and by
# default it is passed the options "-q" (which show up in "$-" as "eLqs") as the
# .echoFlag is set to this undocumented 'q' option (which, FYI, /bin/ksh doesn't
# have). This has the effect of hiding what is being read from $ENV, if
# anything.
#
ENV = # empty
.export ENV
# This should, and appears to, mimic how the "DEFSHELL" is set up now for use in
# NetBSD:
#
#.SHELL: name=sh path=/bin/sh hasErrCtl=false \
# newline="\n" \
# check="echo \"%s\"\n" \
# ignore="%s\n" \
# errout="{ %s \n} || exit $?\n" \
# echoFlag=q
# comment="\#"
# This sets up NetBSD sh to be used like a modern shell:
#
# Note the echoFlag=qv! Without the 'v' it doesn't have the desired effect, yet
# it still doesn't show up in the executed shell's "$-"!
#
# This is slightly more efficient than the default old Bourne sh setup.
#
#.SHELL: name=sh path=/bin/sh hasErrCtl=true \
# check="set -e" ignore="set +e" \
# echo="set -v" quiet="set +v" filter="set +v" \
# echoFlag=qv errFlag=e newline="'\n'" \
# comment="\#"
# This should set up ksh to be used in the same antiquated way /bin/sh is set up
# to work as the "DEFSHELL" in NetBSD make, i.e. without Echo or Error control
# (as in the original KSH setup in Make, sans using "print" instead of "echo")
#
#.SHELL: name=ksh path=/bin/ksh hasErrCtl=false \
# newline="\n" \
# check="print \"%s\"\n" \
# ignore="%s\n" \
# errout="{ %s \n} || exit $?\n" \
