Er, forgot to send the signal.  Corrected test case:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    sigset_t sigset;
    siginfo_t info;
    static struct timespec timeout = {0,0};

    // block delivery of SIGRTMIN
    sigemptyset(&sigset);
    sigaddset(&sigset, SIGRTMIN);
    assert(0 == sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &sigset, NULL));

    raise(SIGRTMIN);

    // clear signal queue
    assert(0 == signal(SIGRTMIN, SIG_IGN)); // POSIX says this clears the queue

    // Make sure that cleared the queue.  (Note that timeout is zero here.)
    assert(sigtimedwait(&sigset, &info, &timeout) != SIGRTMIN);

    printf("test passed\n");
    exit(0);
}
