Thanks, installed on the emacs-27 branch.

They are not events, they are responses by the terminal emulator to
our queries about its capabilities.  Emacs cannot distinguish between
such characters and those the user types, as they are read in the same
way.

Anyway, I convinced myself that the dribble file cannot be open at
this point, since all the functions that use
xterm--read-event-for-query do that during terminal initialization.

So I'm closing this bug report.
