Try:

  set bind-tty-special-chars Off
in your .inputrc, before you do the bind on C-z.

The readline man page is a little misleading:

  bind-tty-special-chars (On)
    If set to On, readline attempts to bind the control characters treated 
    specially by the kernel's terminal driver to their readline equivalents.
Disabling it doesn't actually stop readline from binding those control characters. It just enables you to override those default readline binds. If the variable is set to On (the default), that's not possible.

This does not work for me, unfortunately...

Also, another thing I have noticed, is that I cannot catch the SIGTSTP (Control-Z) signal with the `trap` command. I can catch other standard signals, e.g. SIGINT (Control-C), but not SIGTSTP (along with SIGSTOP and SIGKILL, obviously).
