The question did, in fact, refer to the use of ^Z, rather than ESC.

Luckily, I found out that the problem was due to a bug in the local
installation of EVE, which caused it to send ^Z for that sequence.

In regards to the other odd behaviors that people mentioned, is there
a good summary somewhere of some of these?

Also, does anyone know what the phrase 'ANSI graphics' refers to?
