Duh. I forgot about that. You're correct of course. Still, SIGTTOU is the result of something trying to write to the terminal. Perhaps sudo is prompting for a password? Even if you (or nohup) have redirected stdin/stdout/stderr, sudo can still write to its controlling terminal.

Just because you're running a job in the background does not mean that an interactive shell will not kill it if the job is stopped and you insist on exiting the shell. You need to disown it if you want to exit the shell without killing the job. Of course, in this situation, that won't be of much help.
