I don't have a system with BSD tty drivers, but I'd guess that mush is
in cbreak (not raw) mode, and control-V is your lnext character,
which, when hit, causes the next character pressed not to be
interpreted as a special function by the device driver.  (In other
words, if your interrupt character were ^C, you could send a literal
^C as input to a program by typing ^V^C.)  You could always try

sh stty lnext u

(I think that syntax is right) in your .mushrc to undefine the lnext
character, then alias (map or cmd) your exit character to
[line-mode]sh stty lnext '^v'\n (or whatever) to set it back.

Good luck!
