Interesting... I wonder if that is a fixed bug.
On Debian/etch with python-pexpect 2.1-1 I get
Python 2.4.4c0 (#2, Jul 30 2006, 15:43:58)
[GCC 4.1.2 20060715 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os, pexpect, threading

... pexpect.run('yes', timeout=5)

t.join()

Wheras on Ubuntu/dapper with python-pexpect 0.999-5ubuntu2 I get

[never returns]
I'd guess at differences between the pexpect versions. You could try
the pexpect from debian/testing easily enough I expect.
