If I pause half a second between ESC and I'm told that slang does not use a timeout when processing function keys (i.e., strings that usually begin with ESC). There may be a timeout either in mutt (to compensate), or one actually in slang. That should be tunable. In curses it defaults to a second (across the whole string), and is tunable. vi does something similar, as do all the vi-style editors > the next stroke, it's fine.

I haven't investigated this at all, but if I type ESC-anything too quickly, it doesn't go in. If I pause half a second between ESC and the next stroke, it's fine.

tag-thread works sporadically
I've noticed that when tryting to tag a whole thread with the -t combo, sometimes it will work and sometimes not. I may have to do it a few times before it works, but it's not the same number each time. I think I've noticed the same thing with body search -b, so maybe it's a bigger problem with my setup.
