I think Alexander says that the bindings are reversed, i.e. C-Δ
invokes the binding of C-δ and vice versa.  That's the bug he is
complaining about.  Your description seems to suggest that both keys
should have invoked the same command, not two different commands
exactly reversed from how they were bound.

Or what am I missing?
