It took a long time to figure out what was going on with the original
report, since the keybindings for up- and down-arrow were not the
default.  I don't run Arch or Gentoo, and I didn't suspect it was a
modified key binding that was the issue there.

I use and develop exclusively on Macs, and don't have a DEL key on the
keypad. Once I figured out that it was a function that returned -1 with
a multi-key sequence, I was able to use fn+DEL, which is forward-delete
on the Mac keyboards, to reproduce that problem.
