I don't have LCC, but at least for Borland there was exactly the same bug 
with wait_key(), which is also "fixed" now. I think this should be documented
in the release notes, too.

I wrote "fixed" in quotes, because the bug fix introduced a new issue:
I translated Euphoria's 'key.ex' with Eu 3.0.2 and Eu 3.0.3, respectively,
and compiled with Borland.
'key.exe' translatd with Eu 3.0.2 shows e.g. the codes for [ESC] and for
function keys, as expected. 'key.exe' translatd with Eu 3.0.3 does not do
so. IMHO this is a bigger disadvantage than the required extra keystroke
after a carriage return.
