According to Randall Hopper:

The problem is that emacs plays with SIGIO (^G) and due to a bug in /bin/sh 
(used to run emacs from Mutt), it makes emacs detach. There even now an
option for mutt to use another shell.

Run configure with

 --with-exec-shell=SHELL    Specify alternate shell (ONLY if /bin/sh is broken)

Details are a bit muddy in my memory but that should do it.
