This appears to be by design and most of the comments I've seen indicate a failure of the shell in some fashion. There's a FAQ here: http://www.openssh.org/faq.html (search for: "hang on exit") I've found the the redirection of input and output: < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 works for many of the things I run remotely via ssh.
