The escape character (and other non-printing characters) are being 
suppressed by default.  The PDP-11 documentation says on pages 11-12 that 
the default I/O modes are "8B", meaning that all characters are allowed.  
However:

  PDP-11 simulator V3.8-0
  sim> show tti
  TTI, address=17777560-17777563, vector=60, 7b
  sim> show tto
  TTO, address=17777564-17777567, vector=64, 7p

Mode 7P strips non-printing characters.  Try:

  sim> set tto 8b

...to get all characters (including escape) to print.
