Ah, sorry. This is tmux 1.1-1 on Ubuntu in gnome-terminal with bash as the shell.
I'll also try with the latest version to see whether that changes anything... If I just open a gnome-terminal or xterm (with bash running inside), then start "xclock & exit", xclock starts and keeps running. That's the behavior I'm used to.
