It was a side-effect of my key binding patch.  The replacement string
can't be stored in the simple key table, so ^Z has to be treated as a
prefix.  Of course, its prefixct is 0, indicating that it's not really
a prefix.  The bug is that getkeycmd() doesn't check prefixct soon
enough.  This totally untested patch should fix it:
