What's wrong:
Telnet(1) mentions the default escape character three times. The
first two times it gets it right, the third time it gets it wrong:
While connected to a remote host, telnet command mode may be
entered by typing the telnet "escape character" (initially
"^]"). When in command mode, the normal terminal editing
conventions are available.
...
escape
Sends the current telnet escape character (ini-
tially "^]").
...
escape
This is the telnet escape character (initially
"^[") which causes entry into telnet command mode
(when connected to a remote system).
The third time, it should be ^], not ^[.
