People who use serial consoles expect to press the up-arrow key on the
second machine and have it work the same way as up-arrow on a PC
keyboard. The PC keyboard uses scancodes which your patch covered.
Pressing up arrow on a second machine over a serial line sends whatever
character sequence the remote emulator assigns to up arrow, the most
common (VT100) uses <esc>[A.
