I've now fixed this in Emacs 29.  `key-parse' now returns [24 40 4 24
41] for that sequence, while `kbd' maintains the backwards-compat code.
(This has been broken for half a year and nobody noticed -- in Emacs 29,
(kbd "C-x ( C-d C-x )") returned "" instead of "^D", so it's debatable
whether it makes sense to keep the compat code, but at least we do for
now.
