What are your 'cpoptions' set to? Most importantly, do they contain
"x"? As detailed at

:help c_<esc>
:help cpo-x

either the use of <esc> in a macro, or if "x" is present in
'cpoptions', it will treat it as an "execute this".

It's not a default, so I'd suspect that you've manually set
it somewhere in your vimrc chain.

Additionally, using control+Q can sometimes be intercepted as one of a
terminal's flow-control pairings (usually control+S stops flow,
control+Q resumes flow), so in some environments, Vim may never see
the control+Q.
