This is Mac-specific, and it is due to this line from term/ns-win.el:

    (define-key map [S-tab] [25])

I have no idea why this line is there, perhaps Mac users expect this
binding.  I also don't see how this line plays with the following line
from the same ns-win.el, a few lines up:

    (put 'S-tab 'ascii-character (logior 16 ?\t))

These two lines have been there for almost 2 years.

No, the right way seems to be to find out why ns-win.el defines this
strange mapping.  Adrian?
