While one or more asynchronous processes are running AND the
foreground program flow calls read-from-minibuffer, C-g cannot stop
the function call. This is probably because asynchronous processes set
inhibit-quit to non-nil and read-from-minibuffer called by the
foreground program flow accidentally inherits it.
read-from-minibuffer does not "inherit" anything from the code that
handles asynchronous processes. That code runs and is supposed
to clean up for itself. This must simply be a bug.
Have you actually observed that the variable inhibit-quit is set?
Is it a fact, or a speculation?
