x-keydefs does simply require("keydefs") to get the Key_* variables defined
there. Obviously, they should behave identical regarding the
Key_[Up|Down|Right|Left] keys.

You mean the up arrow key sends a ESC [ A but Key_Up is "\eOA"?

The keys are defined using

variable Key_Up		= setkey_via_terminfo ("ku", "^[[A");
variable Key_Down	= setkey_via_terminfo ("kd", "^[[B");
variable Key_Right	= setkey_via_terminfo ("kr", "^[[C");
variable Key_Left	= setkey_via_terminfo ("kl", "^[[D");

so I guess there is something wrong with your terminfo database or more
probabely the TERM setting.
