> It does seem like a bug -- I'd expect a non-zero exit code in this case. 

It's by design, more or less: see handle_interrupt_signal in keyboard.c. Whether that design is desired or not is a different matter.

(C-g should probably not generate a signal in the first place; it creates more problems than it solves.)
