This behavior exists to stop an error message printed out by a program from disappearing instantly when it exits. There is a class of applications for which that is extremely important. We're following this behavior because it is the right brhavior to follow, and because you can turn it off with a config option very easily.

Alas, this is a behavior that's highly conserved across multiple shells and terminal emulators on most mainstream operating systems; more info in #4223 (comment). If you'd rather it just exit every time, set closeOnExit to true. 😄 /dup #4223.
