The showkey function shows what a single key does.  In this case, the
GOLD key performs an action all by it self: it pushes "\eOP" onto the
input stream.  That is, it maps the key you have defined to be GOLD to
the GOLD key found on a vtxxx terminal.

You might try binding 

   define showkey_gold ()
   {
      ungetkey ('P');
      ungetkey ('O');
      ungetkey ('\e');
      showkey ();
   }
to some key.  When prompted by "Show Key", press only the key to be
modified by the GOLD key--- not the GOLD key prefix.

You can use

   Simulate_Graphic_Chars = 1;

to achieve this.  You may want to set this to a value that depends
upon the terminal, e.g.,

   Simulate_Graphic_Chars = ("xterm" != getenv ("TERM"));
