After poking around some more, I learned that when using Control+Tab,
the KeySym value is XK_Tab instead of XK_ISO_Left_Tab although I am not
sure why using "Shift" changes that and "Control" does not. To use
Control+Tab, I changed what I originally had to:

     { XK_Tab, ControlMask, "\033[27;5;9~", 0, 0, 0},

Pressing Control+Tab now emits the sequence I want.
