I imagine this has something to do with the controlling terminal ... a
long time ago, 'linux init=/bin/sh' disabled job control, and as such,
Ctrl+C. Here's a changelog entry from sysvinit(2.66-1, Oct. 29th, 1996):

  * Set /dev/console as controlling terminal for sysinit, bootwait,
wait, powerwait.This allows using ^C to interrupt some parts of eg the
boot process.
