I never use the Linux console (unless something is severely broken) but
can confirm Alan's observation. With emacs -Q -nw , all of M-TAB, ESC
TAB, and C-M-i say <backtab> is undefined. That happens with emacs 27,
28, and the current master. I also have ncurses 6.3 which ships with
tons of files below /usr/share/terminfo/ including the l/linux Alan
mentioned.
I don't have a previous ncurses version handy to test if a downgrade
would help.
Bye,
Tassilo
