Brian,

It turns out that 'notify=' does work in Bash 1.04 just as 'set notify'
does in the C shell to asynchronously notify of completion of
background jobs.  The catch is, my environment is the CMU shell mode of
GNU Emacs.  So, this is not a problem with Bash 1.04, but rather a
problem of shell-running mode in GNU Emacs (the same problem occurs
with M-x shell).  It is very curious how these shell modes in Emacs
seem to hold the output of the shell until an external command (something
to do with standard error output processing?).  Anyway, thanks for your
follow-through, Brian!
