I suggest that the proper way to phrase this is that RawKeyConvert uses the
REPEAT flag of the input event.  If the input event represents a repeat of
a key, and the keymap specifies that the key is not, in fact, repeatable,
then the resulting conversion is (correctly) of zero length.  You may, of
course, know that you want the conversion anyway and force REPEAT to zero.

If RawKeyConvert is, in fact, confused, I'd like to know more about it.
