Ah, I got it. The documentation of udev_monitor_receive_device() says

  "The monitor socket is by default set to NONBLOCK. A variant of poll() on the file descriptor returned by udev_monitor_get_fd() should to be used to wake up when new devices arrive, or alternatively the file descriptor switched into blocking mode."

However, wait-for-root does

        while ((udev_device = udev_monitor_receive_device (udev_monitor)) != NULL) {

and then just exits. So switching the socket to blocking is indeed the right answer here.
