Please use M-x report-emacs-bug to report it. I tried C-z on MSWindows and it does not run a subshell. The console blinks but nothing else happens.

Maybe just putting "or `exit'" next to > `%emacs' would be sufficient (I'm just guessing here). Proposing improvements like this also warrant M-x report-emacs-bug. The maintainers try to keep the manual thin, but sometimes an addition is justified.
