   M-x shell
   in the shell window:
       su some-other-user
       start-some-long-process
       C-cC-c
       (nothing happens - process still runs)

   C-cC-\ and C-cC-z don't work either.

Sending a quoted control character via C-q C-c RET will work.  This is also
necessary if you run a suid program, and can't su to the user.

But instead of shell, you should upgrade to cmushell.  It doesn't help this
problem (although I think there is a way of sending a single char, w/o RET),
but it gives you everything any other shell could (history, completion,
etc), and more.  Do it.
