I've now reported the bug upstream, and asked the upstream whether they consider that the information needs to remain private until a fix. My main worry is that people will send the byte sequence in question to IRC channels or similar places particularly likely to echo all text received into a terminal, or inject the byte sequence in question into a log file, thus making the terminal unusable and pegging a CPU core of the system. If you feel those consequences are sufficiently small that the risk of making the bug report public is worth it, then I have no objection to making the bug public. Otherwise, it's likely best to wait to hear what upstream has to say.
