I consider that to be a somewhat naive way to handle the
problem. Calling a shell xset entails a lot of bookkeeping related to
which window is active - xset works globally and most people would
find it extremely difficult to work with a null repeat delay in their
other applications. 

Given time to think a bit I've devised a workaround by matching
key press events with key release events. I therefore withdraw my
question and apologise for the spam :-)
