Greg -- In GT.M, this would be the expected behavior. The JOB command forks a separate process that is completely independent of the process that executes the JOB command (indeed, the JOB'd process gets init as the parent process). So, a kill -9 of the JOB'd process has no effect on the process executing the JOB command.
I don't know the semantics of the Cache JOB command, but they may be similar.

You'd really have to work at it (at least I did):
In session 1:
USER>ZL ZZLOOP ZP
ZZLOOP ;
F S X=1
USER>J ZZLOOP
USER>w "I am alive" <== Note: This command is executed until AFTER
session 2 completes
I am alive
USER>h
~:$
In session 2:
426 ?? R 0:50.81 cache ZZLOOP^ZZLOOP
420 p1 S 0:00.03 -bash
423 p1 S+ 0:00.03 /Applications/Cache/bin/cache -s /
Applications/Cache/
429 p2 S 0:00.03 -bash
~:$ kill -9 426
