Don't we have some variable that could be bound around the call to
read-event to suppress text-conversion?  If not, we should, because
this is definitely not the last situation where it could get in the
way.

I don't have it ready.  But I'm not sure how would that help.  If you
look at what read-key does and compare that to read-event, you will
see that the differences are so significant as to thwart any attempt
to figure out when and how these two will behave differently.

But okay, see these:
