Yes, evidently your problem involves some code that I don't have, which explains
why I can't reproduce it. If you can provide a way to reproduce your problem
(i.e., C-g does not work) then perhaps we can fix it.

Yes, that's to be expected. Emacs is single-threaded, and if are running Lisp
code it cannot respond to other keystrokes to run any other Lisp code; all you
can do is interrupt it with C-g.
