It is done on purpose, to allow Shift+Esc to be bound to a different
function if desired. It's documented here:

[1] http://code.google.com/p/mintty/wiki/Keycodes#Special_keys

Shift+ESC sends the Unicode codepoint U+009B, aka the Control Sequence
Introducer (CSI) character.

My experience does not agree with the "Special keys" table at the
page referenced by that URL.

On my german keyboard I receive ^[^[ (2x ESC) for Shift-ESC. Character Set is CP850 if that matters. As of my understanding CSI is something like ESC[ (at least on an ANSI-terminal, is this different on xterm?).

Switching to ISO-8859-1 emits 0x9b which seems to be correct.
