This is because key-valid-p is too restrictive: it only accepts
modifiers in the canonical order A-C-H-M-S-s.  But key-parse, which is
called by keymap-lookup, accepts and correctly processes the modifiers
in any order:

  (key-parse "M-C-h")
   => [134217736]

Should we fix key-valid-p to be more lenient?  Or maybe just remove
the call to keymap--check from keymap-look up?

Stefan, WDYT?
