Yes but why does ^C only interrupt asterisk when -c (colour) is given? To me this is a bug. Asterisk should either always trap these key sequences or always pass them, irrespective of your desire to see coloured console messages.
Did any of you actually check what -c does? It runs asterisk in console mode providing a CLI instead of daemon mode where it immediately forks itself away from the controlling terminal. If you run asterisk with -c it MUST (read should according to standards) behave like any other linux process terminal and respond in some way to ^C (in fact if it doesn't itself, linux will - by killing the process). And as for what * does when it sees ^C, it doesn't die with any error other than a message from its input handling routines saying input was interrupted (which is what ^C is by the way - an INTERRUPT).
So exactly why is this a bug?

PS. below is the 'asterisk -h' from CVS-HEAD, notice the only mention of color is the '-n' option, not the '-c' option.... :)
