I’ve had this happen with normal carrier phone calls as well so it appears till be nothing special. Maybe there should be a different tone for “finding device(s) to ring” and “ringing device”.

This is not unique to Signal though. I've had this happen with WhatsApp about 1-2% of the times I've tried to place a call in the last few months
It definitely needs to be more reliable, though. The last time I tried to call someone with Signal instead of just using it for messaging, I got a ringing indication but they heard nothing and then after a few seconds the call showed up as missed, and the same happened the other way around with them calling me. There seem to have been about 500 updates to the iOS app in the past 5 minutes via the app store, though, so many whatever caused that was a short-lived glitch.
