Surprisingly, it turned out to be a bash bug, AFAICT.  You should be able
to trigger it on linux if you hold down ^C long enough.  Eventually, you'll
get a signal handler calling kill, which calls the same signal handler, which
calls kill, which calls the same signal handler, which calls kill, etc.
