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?
