Please show here the Texinfo sources, not just the text from the Info
manual.  I'm not saying that all you report is necessarily correct,
but it could be: ESC and RET are both characters and keys.  In the
character context, ESC and RET are correct, while in the key context,
`<ESC>' and `<SPC>' are correct (the latter comes from @key, and I
don't remember now whether @key produces the quotes in addition to
<..>).
