Agreed.

In the case of process substitutions it is documented that their use may
change wait's behavior

but what the manual says is not what actually happens; in the OP $! is the
PID of : & when wait is called. And it doesn't even wait for only the
last-executed one, it waits for all of them:

    $ ( : & wait ) > >(sleep 3) > >(:)
    *hangs for 3 seconds*
