ssh -t host sleep 100 + Ctrl-Z (SIGSTOP) does not suspend process?

Currently executing "ssh -t host sleep 100" and then pressing Ctrl-Z (to send SIGSTOP) does not seem to suspend the SSH process. Would it make sense to have Ctrl-Z suspend the SSH process, or is there some rationale for not doing that? I'm not intimately familiar with how SSH interacts with terminals on pseudo-TTY allocation, which is why I'm asking.
