Huh. I guess so. It does so for me, as well.
This problem sounded familiar so I did a little archive diving. It was
reported before and I investigated it before. I remember thinking that
this would be hard to fix owing to a race condition with signals in tty
code. I can make this fail in various interesting ways even outside of
the pty/tty code, though. So, I'm investigating why now.
