This is being generated by this chunk of code from
src/sys/kern/kern_sig.c:

		case (int)SIG_IGN:
			/*
			 * Masking above should prevent us ever trying
			 * to take action on an ignored signal other
			 * than SIGCONT, unless process is traced.
			 */
			if ((prop & SA_CONT) == 0 &&
			    (p->p_flag & P_TRACED) == 0)
				printf("issignal\n");
			break;		/* == ignore */


So you have a process being traced that is getting ignored signals. I
suspect the message is a leftover debugging prinf and should be harmless.
You can file a PR to get this removed if you like.
