Hmmm...  Might cause trouble all right.  ESC is the start
marker for escape sequences, such as ESC [ D which is cursor
left, ESC [ A which is cursor up.

So, unless readline is really smart, you might find that your
up-arrow key produces '<complete>[A'.  If readline uses a
short timeout after ESC to distinguish ESC or up-arrow, then 
it'll probably work OK over a fast connection/locally, but get
unreliable over a slow telnet or ssh link.
