Or more precisely: "The default key binding is used".

From (info "(elisp) Controlling Active Maps"):

 -- Function: set-transient-map keymap &optional keep-pred on-exit
     This function adds KEYMAP as a “transient” keymap, which takes
     precedence over other keymaps for one (or more) subsequent keys.

So maybe "transient mode" should be replaced with "transient keymap"?
