AFAICT the problem is not specific to event modifier-applying thingies
but to any use of a function binding (i.e. a dynamic remapping) in
`(local-)function-key-map`.

The ugly hack below seems to work for the given recipe, but I tried
a related recipe:

    emacs -Q --nw -f xterm-mouse-mode
    C-x (
    click mouse-1 somewhere to move point
    C-x )
    M-x kmacro-edit-macro RET

and the resulting macro still doesn't look right at all.
