Well, it's about equally as annoying, as you'll get a "Really exit
Emacs" message.

In my case this doesn't tend to happen as by the time I've moved my
fingers from being ready to type 'x' to being ready to type 'c', my
other hand has released the control key.

Just sharing my experience -- not sure whether it will apply to others.
