The only place I've encountered this so far is with remote hosts that run HP-UX 9.x. And, it seems, I encounter the ^C bug a lot more often when I'm using NCSA Telnet 2.6 on my girlfriend's Mac LCIII. (NCSA and HP-UX make strange bedfellows.) However, the bug I encountered was two ^C's in rapid succession.
