But if you look at the code, you see that

    (signal 'quit nil)

is always executed.  If you get a beep depends on whether the quit
is caught.  But the behavior should be independent from how you invoke
`keyboard-quit' in one and the same context - either the quit signal
gets caught (no beep) or it isn't (beep).
