There's no need for something as drastic as C-g.  You could instead
press left-arrow, for example, or some other similarly harmless key.

No one argues against fixing this annoyance.  But the fix should not
cause more problems than the problem it fixes, and it should not
change behavior in incompatible ways.  In addition, we want to start
the Emacs 27 release cycle soon, so we don't want invasive changes in
infrastructure used all over the place.
