How come Emacs for X can't distinguish between C-i and TAB? I understand
why that happens on a terminal, but on X it should be possible...

Because C-i and TAB are just two names for the same thing.

Try <tab> instead.

Emacs definitely distinguished between the two.
But it has a function-key-map entry that turns `tab' (the event
generated by your TAB key) into a C-i when there's no binding for `tab'.

Not in trunk:
emacs -Q
(global-set-key (kbd "C-i") 'foo)
(global-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'bar)
TAB -> Symbol's function definition is void: bar
C-i -> Symbol's function definition is void: bar

`kbd's syntax defines TAB as equivalent to C-i, so the above two
instructions bind the same key.
Try
(global-set-key [?\C-i] 'foo)
(global-set-key [tab] 'bar)

Or just this, no?
(global-set-key (kbd "C-i") 'foo)
(global-set-key (kbd "<tab>") 'bar)

Their effect should be the same.

I like Andrew's best. I have never been a fan of the "native" keybinding
representation.

That was the point.
You can use `kbd' as originally attempted.
You just need to know the external representation <tab>.
