Epoch 4.2p0, EIGHTBIT_KEYBOARD not defined:

(key-description "\M-x") returns an eight-bit character (looks like a
0 with a slash through it).

Is this a bug, or a feature of the new 8-bit character support ?

From the Emacs Lisp Manual:

 * Function: key-description STRING
     This function returns a string containing the Emacs standard
     notation for the keyboard characters in STRING.  See the
     examples for `single-key-description'.

 * Function: single-key-description CHARACTER
     This function returns a string describing CHARACTER in the
     standard Emacs notation for keyboard input.  A normal printing
     character is represented by itself, but a control character
     turns into a string starting with `C-', a meta character turns
     into a string starting with `M-', and space, linefeed, etc. are
     transformed to `SPC', `LFD', etc.

          (single-key-description ?\C-x)
               => "C-x"
          (key-description "\C-x \M-y \n \t \r \f123")
               => "C-x SPC M-y SPC LFD SPC TAB SPC RET SPC C-l 1 2 3"
