This is simmering i never exactly followed but i think if the shell doesn't support job control it's expected behaviour, not a bug. Only shells that support job control create new process groups for every backgrounded command.

I would have expected if I run postgres myself that it be attached to the terminal and die when I C-c it but if it's started by pg_ctl I would have thought it was running independently of my terminal and shell.

In this case maybe it is pg_ctl which should do the deamoinizing ?
