"unresponsive" could be due to the application sending any of these 8-bit
codes when it's not in UTF-8 mode:

ESC ]
     Operating System Command (OSC  is 0x9d).
ESC ^
     Privacy Message (PM  is 0x9e).
ESC _
     Application Program Command (APC  is 0x9f).

...but I cannot tell exactly from this, because it's plain ASCII

See this in the manpage:

       -k8     This  option  sets  the  allowC1Printable resource.  When allowC1Printable is set, xterm-dev overrides the
               mapping of C1 control characters (code 128-159) to treat them as printable.

(not a bug, but a feature)
