GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 681006
Escape should cancel DnD operation
Last modified: 2012-08-07 03:24:10 UTC
When a DnD operation is being performed, Escape should cancel it, in the same way the menu grab is broken when Escape is pressed while a menu is showing.

Hmm, we have code to do this. It works with GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1. It seems the XI2 variant of it is broken.
