Yes there is an answer and a solution, our friend the stty command:

     [-]tostop   Stop background jobs that attempt  to  write  to
                 the terminal.  With a `-', allow background jobs
                 to write to the terminal.

Thanks go to Jay Lessert for the solution to this problem.
