Here's when/where/how we ran into this issue before, what we found out,
and how we tried working around it:

Apparently, it's the "tcgetpgrp(fd) != getpid()" check. Unfortunately,
its introduction predates the CVS history (it's there since 1990s,
whereas JtR was put in a CVS repo in 2002), and I don't recall the
rationale behind it.
