I think it shouldn't report an error but just return nil.
Checking that events are "meaningful" might be OK for define-key but
doesn't make any sense for lookup-key and friends.
If you look at the test used currently, it is already more lax in
lookup-key than in define-key (justified by the following comment:)

      /* Allow string since binding for `menu-bar-select-buffer'
	 includes the buffer name in the key sequence.  */

I suggest we just get rid of the checks in lookup-key.
