The prompt string for execute-extended-command is “M-x ”, but that
is not correct if the command is bound to some other key by
customization.
Kevin Rodgers gave this explanation recently in “gnu.emacs.help”:

Change this code in src/keyboard.c and recompile emacs:
/* This isn't strictly correct if execute-extended-command
is bound to anything else. Perhaps it should use
this_command_keys? */
strcat (buf, "M-x ");

So, possibly the promp can be changed to “Execute command ”.
Thanks.
