pg_ctl calls *StartServiceCtrlDispatcher*(). It can only get to the line 
you mention when called as a service after that call returns. MSDN states:

"If *StartServiceCtrlDispatcher* succeeds, it connects the calling 
thread to the service control manager and does not return until all 
running services in the process have entered the SERVICE_STOPPED state."

So it appears that something is causing your service to enter that state.
