My understanding is once I set auxtype to DC00 for a 
non-compliant application, GNO no longer buffers the
keyboard and therefore cannot intercept the ^Z
necessary to suspend the process and return to gsh.
Is this correct?

In other words, I can only exit these programs
(including desktop ones), not suspend them?

  Correct.  GNO 1.1 will provide some features to allow you to
suspend desktop applications (strictly speaking, they're compliant,
but 'nifty-feature' support for them is slim right now.
