You went to some effort to make a detailed bug report, but seem to
have forgotten some important information: operating system and
Lynx version.  Also whether Lynx is compiled with slang or (n)curses
could be important.

Are you having any problems like that (maybe the `describe-key' weirdness)
when you use emacs on its own (not from Lynx)?

Anyway, should this be some kind of unix, I suspect there is some unusual
stty or tset setting which uses ^G for some signal.  try 

  stty -a

and see whether ^g appears anywhere.  Hmm, maybe you should do this from
a shell spawned with '!' from Lynx, in cases something in Lynx changes 
the setting in your case..  But it might also be something in your emacs
setup or terminal information.  I could not reproduce your problem
even after setting `stty intr ^g', with two lynx binaries (one compiled
with slang and one with curses) on solaris.
