That seems like a bug.  send_kbd_event calls send_to_frame(ses,
doc_view, ev) before kbd_action(KBD_MAIN, ev, &event).  And
send_kbd_event calls frame_ev, which calls frame_ev_kbd, which
calls try_prefix_key.

Key bindings explicitly configured by the user should surely
take precedence over built-in interpretations.

Perhaps what we should do is define a "prefix-digit" action
(related to "backspace-prefix"), bind digit keys to that by
default, and move the try_prefix_key code into that action.
Then users would be free to overwrite the binding, and would
get a warning before doing so.  Emacs has a "digit-argument"
command like that.
