Curly braces are special only when at the beginning and end of the OUTPUT
string:
OUTPUT {foo} sends foo
OUTPUT {{foo}} sends {foo}
As you have noticed, this is different from C-Kermit, which does not strip
braces from the OUTPUT string at all, and so in C-Kermit:
OUTPUT {foo} sends {foo}
OUTPUT {{foo}} sends {{foo}}
So yes, this is an inconsistency.
When braces are other positions, the behavior is consistent:
OUTPUT foo{}bar sends foo{}bar
