I also just noticed that if you are too slow to hit TAB after ESC -- ie if you wait for the string ESC to show up in the minibuffer -- you get an out of range error in some cases: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range "ESC tab" 0 22) call-interactively(describe-key-briefly) OTOH, when using the key rather than getting its current binding the out of range does not occur.
