Your argument being that since someone screwed up ages ago in an
unrelated product, Xen should fall in line instead of doing something
that works sanely outside the US? :-)

Good point.  Screw the international users, they can get US keyboards
if they want Xen ;-).

Hmm.  Why?

Personally I've looked at that character sequence a couple of times,
tried to make it work, given up each time.  Finally I concluded that
it's impossible to hit it on my keyboard.

So what I've always done is switch to another virtual console
([ctrl]-alt-Fx) or use a graphically managed version of telnet (eg.
telnet in xterm or telnet in cmd on Windows).
