Ah, that is the first time I ever saw a use for control chars in the CTRL
shift state!
But..... if you load the keyboard in MSKLC, add U+001d to the VK_OEM_6 key
(which is where that bracket is), rebuilt it, and install it, then the
Telnet ESC squence will work properly.
Telnet seems to be depending on some of those control characters being on
the keyboard, and in particular positions (which means lots of the built-in
keyboards would fail since not all of them have these definitions). I'll put
this in as a bug to fix in the next version of MSKLC....
