I agree. The practical question is how to find some reasonable
solution here.
Is it possible for you to try to hack the functions involved in this,
such that read-key-sequence-vector is called with its 4th argument
non-nil, and see if the results are better or worse? (I presume the
code in userlock.el will have to be changed to do something when this
event comes from read-char-choice, or something.)
