Well, it doesn't really freeze tmux, it input from one pane. We used to abort the sequence when the buffer was full but now we have INPUT_DISCARD. Could get rid of that but it would need some way to throw a state change back up. You can do it if you like but if not IMO it is enough to say "don't do that then".
gnome-terminal is not a good implementation to model behaviour from, how xterm handles it is usually the right way.
