If your two-finger tap is bringing up the menu and selecting New, then it must be emulating a button. Escape would cancel the act of drawing/selecting a window, which is currently done by "any button other than 3". AFAICS, expecting a mouse way to do that is the only reason why sweep, delete, etc had to be bound to just one button.
