No, it does not.

When I type ``z'' to telnet or ``suspend'' to csh, I expect it to stop.
The interaction should be transparent; the user shouldn't have to think
about expect being in the way. But expect doesn't monitor the status of
the spawned process and hence cannot handle job control transparently.
This is a limitation and you know it.

Yes, it does.
