There has to be something with my version of Xenomai, IPIPE or configuration. Not even your example is working for me. Morover in your example output is clearly visible, that the first waiting is interrupted 9.9e-05s after first attempt to wait by some unknown signal. Such thing has never happened to me in POSIX, only in Alchemy.
 
My output:
Task started
Set period: 5s
Waiting for join
Task livind: 5s
Task livind: 5s
Task livind: 5s
...
 
Also here is perhaps a small fix to your changes: sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
