I've tested on my environment (emacs from cvs runnning on linux), C-g
does work well.  The problem might depend on your envirionment.
On your envirionment, does C-g work in other cases?
e.g.
  "C-h k C-g" does show description of keyboad-quit?
  Can you exit from command by C-g (for example, "M-: C-g")?
