While I don't have a lot of data myself, it's probably worth
mentioning that I've seen this behavior occasionally for a while, just
to help avoid focusing too much on recent changes.  Every so often
I've gotten this back I think at least to 1.1.1, and the bash
distributed with the original 1.1.0 release.

I seem to hit it most often when Ctrl-C'ing out of a running command
involving several commands and pipes, which probably creates the final
exit in the background scenario.  But not 100% of the time.  When it
happens I sort of find the bash I was using, hit Enter and the problem
goes away.  But recreating it upon demand has been very difficult.
Also, in my case I normally can't create the problem at will by just
placing something in the background - my CPU is fine even before I hit
Enter and get the Done message in such cases.
