I see.

No, terminate is not abrupt at all.  It works by raising a signal that 
does its way up to this signal handler:

     [...
     "Invokes the block passed to #fork."
     aBlockClosure value]
              on: SystemExceptions.ProcessBeingTerminated
              do: [:sig | sig return]]

I think it's a bug in #queueInterrupt: or something like that.

Can you make a self-contained testcase (one that fails "most of the 
time" at least)?
