Fixed in git, commit 8b2114a2.

(M-O is an escape-sequence starter too, and nano allows using that keystroke, so why not M-[?  The risk for unexpected behavior when used in a macro is quite a bit higher, but still... the advantage of having an extra possible keystroke outweighs this, in my opinion.)

Before version 2.6.2, typing M-[ would pause for a second and would then report: "Unknown Command".  Since then, typing M-[ reports "Unbindable key".  However, there is little reason to leave M-[ unbindable.  The keystroke may not work when used in a macro or when typed when nano is stalled, but it will work fine in the normal case: when just typing at a responsive machine.  So... allow the user to bind this keystroke when he or she wants to.
