To reproduce, run 'src/nano --ignore'.
First type: <Esc> <Esc> 3
Nano says: "Unbindable key: ^[".  That is correct.

Now type: <Esc> <Esc> 2 2 <Alt+H> <Esc> <Esc> 3
The charcacter "ß" is entered into the buffer (as if the user had typed the sequence: <Esc> <Esc> 2 2 3).  Incorrect.

The bug was found through code inspection.  It exists since before version 2.1.0.  (Before version 3.0, the <Alt+H> would additionally enter an "h" into the buffer.)
