Ah, yes, it does look like that's the cause of the escape sequence reply.  
Thanks for the pointer!  Customizing xterm-extra-capabilities might be one way 
to deal with it.

I think it's still of interest why it times out after a couple of seconds, when 
the response ought to be pretty quick.  If it were a distant remote login 
session, I could see it being slow, but this was in a local xterm (or some 
similar terminal emulator) window, and the system wasn't unusually loaded.
