This sounds easily fixable.

Good catch, just fixed this in CVS. This kind of bug is, however, a
symptom of a deeper issue, namely that typeout panes are not at all
Drei instances, and as such concepts like "current buffer" and
"current view" are erroneous while they are active. Perhaps typeout
panes should be implemented as a special kind of Drei view.

This is a McCLIM issue, or more specifically, a CLX issue. I have been
told CLX needs support for the XKEYBOARD extension to fix this.
