#3494: \Cj results in a bind to <Return> rather than ctrl+j

This bug has been reported to debian at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=547661 . I tried it and I could reproduce it as
well. I even compiled the official version and still the error was
reproducible there.
The problem happens when I try to bind \Cj, mutt interprets that as
<Return>. Even if execute ``bind -r '\C-j''' in my shell first, I still
get the same error. I used mutt's what-key function and both C-j and
<Return> report: Char = <Return>, Octal = 12, Decimal = 10
There was one person on Debian's bug report who couldn't reproduce the
bug. So I suspect it might be related to the terminal or the shell. I'm
using rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.07 and bash 4.1.5, both stock from Debian
squeeze repository. Though I've also tried from tty and xterm using both
csh and bash.
I made a small curses program (it's attached) that reads a key press and
prints the character. Running it in my setup gives me 10 for C-j and 13
for <Return>. Afaik 10 is the character of \n and 13 is the character
number for \r. So I guess I can see where the confusion arises from. But
note how that differs from what-key output.
