If I understand the question, you're asking why does a suspend when you are running Emacs from the ucb universe, but only clears the screen from the att universe? I'm not an Emacs user, so this is just a hunch. The reason is that behaves differently on 4.3BSD and System VR3. In BSD systems, causes a SIGTSTP signal to be sent to the process, which is normally interpretted as a signal to suspend. In System V, is just another character, with no special significance.* So Emacs does with it as it pleases. *Yes, I know about shell layers. I assumed that the user wasn't using it, or he wouldn't have asked the question in the first place.
