While playing with the various tools supported by mergetool, I noticed
that, while with most tools you can just use Ctrl-C and git-mergetool as
well as the external tool get killed, the behaviour with emerge looks
buggy: whereas the toplevel "git" process gets killed, the children
git-mergetool as well as emacs are not impacted, and the merge continues
in the background.

Sorry for the late reply (your email got lost in the traffic).

We don't do anything particularly special for emerge.
Can you identify a specific flag or setting that might be
causing this?

I just tried emerge with difftool and it worked just fine.
What platform are you on, etc.?
