I don't understand the expectation: nothing in the documentation says
that the KEYS argument to call-interactively is stuffed into what
this-single-command-keys will return.  The documentation says that the
KEYS argument will be used instead of this-single-command-keys when
the called command needs to access the events that invoked it, that's
all.

Yes, it _is_ the interactive spec.  When that spec uses 'e' or '@' or
something else that needs to analyze the invoking events, then Emacs
provides the information from KEYS instead.

I don't really see hat needs to be clarified in the docs, but given
the above, perhaps Lars or Matthew could propose a clarification?
