  To answer my own question, it appears to be generating the readline
insert-comment event, which is normally M-#, which is mapped to Alt-# under
windows, which Ctrl-V reveals is equivalent to ^[#, and indeed the sequence
ESC-# also works.

  Hmm, maybe it's terminfo rather than readline settings.  There's nothing
abnormal in my .inputrc.


    cheers,
