ah well, yes of course.  it just seemed odd that a subshell which is not reading commands from stdin will be interactive.

For example, (pushd) will print the dirstack.  On the other hand, (fc) will output the recent history, without being interactive it is unhappy, but I don't see much reason calling fc from a subshell.
