does zsh ignore the QUIT signal?

When I type "while true; do true; done" from an interactive zsh shell,
I can't interrupt it with SIGQUIT (either with Ctrl-\ or with the
"kill -QUIT <pid>" command): sending this signal has no effect. Is
this normal?
Searching for QUIT in the zsh man page, I just get:
SIGNALS
The INT and QUIT signals for an invoked command are ignored if the com-
mand is followed by `&' and the MONITOR option is not active. Other-
wise, signals have the values inherited by the shell from its parent
(but see the TRAPNAL special functions in the section `Functions').
whereas in the bash man page, this behavior is documented:
SIGNALS
When bash is interactive, in the absence of any traps, it ignores
SIGTERM (so that kill 0 does not kill an interactive shell), and SIGINT
is caught and handled (so that the wait builtin is interruptible). In
all cases, bash ignores SIGQUIT. If job control is in effect, bash
ignores SIGTTIN, SIGTTOU, and SIGTSTP.
