Matt,

the problem is not new. Dag-Erling committed su.c rev 1.51 to fix the
problem with su taking signals instead of its children and his fix has
this unfortunate side effect you are seeing.

I proposed a different patch, which does not have unwanted side-effects
and which I am using for at leat one year now. Please see
current@freebsd.org archives for a thread 
"zsh exits upon ^C after su'ing to root with zsh as its shell". It took
place somewhen at the end of the May.
