Seems to me like the problem lies in the fact that you are using the
built in echo and not /bin/echo that causes the bug to surface:

(54:ashone:~) echo $version
tcsh 6.01.00 (Cornell) 12/19/91 options 8b,nls,dl,vi,al,dir
(55:ashone:~) echo | echo
(56:ashone:~) Reset tty pgrp from 1645 to 639
(56:ashone:~) jobs
[1]    Running                echo |
(57:ashone:~) %1
echo |
(58:ashone:~) 
(58:ashone:~) jobs
(59:ashone:~) /bin/echo | /bin/echo

(60:ashone:~) jobs
(61:ashone:~)
