The text I committed:

     Note however that actual key bindings can have an effect on
     `key-translation-map', even though they are overridden by it.
     Indeed, actual key bindings override `function-key-map' and thus
     may alter the key sequence that `key-translation-map' receives.
     Clearly, it is better to avoid to avoid this type of situation.

clearly suggests that one should not rely on this as a "feature".

It is kind of difficult to say _what_ not to do, without saying what
the problem is.

Sincerely,

Luc.
