If I'm not mistaken, this is implemented cleanly now with the latest keycode changes (at least it works for me in all the 3 aforementioned games). Can this feature request be closed?

I implented it as a side effect, aye.
However, what I said still stays: This may cause odd regressions if used, so we may have to disable it again in the future (but then we will at least be able to say why precisely we don't enable it ;-).

It would be trivial enough to enable this in a hackish fashion (just fake VAR_TALKSTOP_KEY for these games). But I am somewhat doubtful whether that would work cleanly. It's quite likely that this will cause all sorts of odd errors to occur... but still somebody might want to try this. A good starting place is engines/scumm/input.cpp, near where VAR_TALKSTOP_KEY is checked.
