I guess you get "C-M-g is undefined" if you type C-g quickly enough
after ESC. If you wait for a few seconds, until "ESC-" appears in the
echo area, before you type C-g, you should get just "Quit", as in
other cases. Do you see this on your system?
If the above describes what happens on your system, then Noam is
right: that's how this is supposed to work. Emacs allows you to use
ESC as a prefix that converts the next key into its Meta variant, so
C-g is converted into C-M-g. But it still gets rid of the ESC that
you typed by mistake.
And yes, if you type an undefined sequence, it _is_ canceled when
Emacs says its undefined.
Thanks.
