What about the following?

irb(main):001:0> "
irb(main):002:0" ^C
irb(main):002:0> "
irb(main):003:0> print "hi"
irb(main):004:0> h
irb(main):005:0> 
irb(main):006:0> ???
irb(main):007:0> ^C
irb(main):007:0> 

Basically, if irb is expecting you to complete a quoted entry,
but you try to escape with ^C, it seems to end up unresponsive
to anything, and I can't get out unless I use ^Z or ^D.
