suspend and ||

According to the manual:

(I)  Typing the suspend character (typically ^Z, Control-Z) 
     while a process is running causes that process to be
     stopped and returns control to bash.

(II) An OR list has the form

              command1 || command2

     command2  is executed if and only if command1
     returns a non-zero exit status.  The return status of
     AND and OR lists is the exit status of the last 
     command executed in the list.

In the following example:

esoriano@omac:~$ sleep 10 || echo hey
^Z
[5]+  Stopped                 sleep 10
hey
esoriano@omac:~$ 

there are two different issues:

(I) echo is executed when sleep is suspended, i.e., command2 is 
   executed before command1 exits.

(II) the exit status of command1 (when the job is resumed) will
   be 0 and command2 is (was) executed.
