The Borne shell doesn't do job control. No "nohup" command will insulate against SIGTERM, it only protects against SIGHUP (hence the name). I'm completely confused why the sh would send a TERM to the processess.
It could be that the processes are sending a request to go in the background (SIGSTOP) and the sh is terminating them instead. I'll see if I can duplicate the behaviour and see what's causing this problem, but it sounds like you have a workaround.
