function calls.

Expected and required.

Nonsense (the conclusion).
When an async command (any command, not just functions,
or blocks enclosed in { } ) is run with job control
disabled, SIGINT is ignored for that async command.
(SIGQUIT too).
That has been the way shells work since before either
the Bourne shell (and all later shells based upon it,
like bash) or job control, were invented.
That is all you are seeing here.
