That's because we switched to using read-from-minibuffer (via
read-char-from-minibuffer) instead of using read-char, for the dubious
benefit of being able to use history in this command, see bug#10477.
And read-from-minibuffer interprets some characters specially.
Stefan, is there a way to have this cake and eat it, too?
