<pre>Ha, it's not that as I suspected, but one I'd forgot I'd enabled:
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill the X server.
This changes backspace to:
type "CTRL+ALT" {
modifiers= Shift+Control+Alt+LevelThree;
map[Shift]= Level2;
preserve[Shift]= Shift;
map[LevelThree]= Level3;
map[Shift+LevelThree]= Level4;
preserve[Shift+LevelThree]= Shift;
map[Control+Alt]= Level5;
level_name[Level1]= "Base";
level_name[Level2]= "Shift";
level_name[Level3]= "Alt Base";
level_name[Level4]= "Shift Alt";
level_name[Level5]= "Ctrl+Alt";
};
key <BKSP> {
type= "CTRL+ALT",
symbols[Group1]= [ BackSpace, BackSpace, NoSymbol,
NoSymbol, Terminate_Server ]
};
This shouldn't make a difference, as Ctrl+BackSpace will generate backspace,
but it's exactly this issue:

I still think it should get fixed in GTK+. But for the meantime, adding an
explicit map for both Control and Control+Shift to Level1, with preserve
entries for both, 'fixes' it.</pre>
