I stepped through this in the debugger.  Here are the relevant portions
of the backtrace:

#0  0x00007ffff22093c3 in sigsuspend () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
#1  0x00000000005870b3 in wait_for_termination_1 (pid=23343, interruptible=0) at sysdep.c:335
#2  0x0000000000587124 in wait_for_termination (pid=23343) at sysdep.c:349
#3  0x000000000066d0fc in Fcall_process (nargs=6, args=0x7fffffffaea8) at callproc.c:891

I checked the pid which wait_for_termination is waiting for.  It is
reported by ps as a <defunct> bash process.

jlf on freenode's #emacs suggested testing with "emacs -Q" and also with
my shell dotfiles moved out of the way.  I get the same behavior in both
cases.
