Is Java trying anything WRT signalling process groups rather than just  
itself in the belief it were a session leader, i. e. when it tries to  
shoot its threads, it accidentally also shoots down the shell?

Open stdin descriptors can hamper "detaching" processes.

Does the Java stuff you're doing need stdin? If not, try running the JVM  
with input redirection such as <&- (closes stdin, assuming bash or  
similar) or </dev/null.
