This seems to be due to a mailer (Airmail?) that sends a broken
html part, not an Emacs bug.  Here is the `Recent input' section
of the bug report embedded in the html part:

<br>Recent input:
<br>e s t <return> C-d <down> <down> <down> <down> <down>  
<br><down> <down> <down> <down> <down> <down> <down> <down>

Those keystrokes should have been quoted as: &lt;key&gt;
