That would appear to be a problem with the curses implementation.

The Esc-Enter behaviour is part of the vask library (V_call(), in
lib/vask/V_call.c). If it works in some cases and not others, I'm not
sure what can be done.

I still don't have a working Windows system, so I'm unable to debug it
myself.
