YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A SHELL PROMPT AT THAT POINT.
The problem is that Netscape blocks the ^Z until something happens in its X window (you enter it with the mouse, for instance). Just try it.
This is a Netscape bug. There's nothing you can do about it (OK -- you can complain to Netscape; whether that'll help is another question).
