Answering my own question:

(push 7 unread-command-events)

in the process sentinel  works where I have customized repeat-exit-key
to C-g.

However I needed to explicitly use (push 7 unread-command-events)
rather than the more readable (push repeat-exit-key
unread-command-events)

since unread-command-events doesn't like having a vector pushed onto it.
