A feature, no doubt. As Glenn points out, this is normal (and very old) behavior of C-q, which is well documented. > C-q 7 7 7. Now Emacs is hosed - in Neverneverland.

But everything else you describe isn't, or is not reproducible here. > C-q should simply quote the 7, as it should quote other characters you > type (including ^U, BTW). No, numeric characters after C-q behave specially.
