This is due to register-read-with-preview, which use read-event and does
no sanity checking of the result. Why does it not use read-char?

Also on this subject, register-preview-functions is undocumented and unused.
Does it need to exist? Does it need to be a hook, as opposed to a
-function variable? Should it not exist until there is a use-case for it?
