Nic:

I have a hunch about what might be going on here.  There's some
potential for badness in exit_notify with BProc.  kill_pg and
is_orphaned_pgrp might end up setting the process state back to
RUNNING instead of ZOMBIE.  Then they could get hung up because the
ghost is gone because it's already exited.

I've attached a revised patch which I think should fix that.  Can you
try it an see if it helps?
