1. emacs -q
2. (global-set-key "\C-z" (define-prefix-command 'foo))
3. C-z C-c => "C-z C-c is undefined" as expected
However:
4. C-z C-x => "C-z C-x- (C-h for help)"
5. C-z C-x C-h => "No commands with a binding that start with C-z C-x."
I am on the pgtk build.

Why is that a problem?

It should say "C-z C-x is undefined" right away, like with every other key.

C-x is not like other keys, it is handled specially. I think.

C-x starts a key translation. If you type C-z C-x 8 " s you get the
same binding as C-z ß.

Ah, I see. Thanks. I think that this means this is not a bug.
