Your first note said "mystically linked" -- they produce the same
ascii code. Control-I is "tab".
Now, on X11 and probably other window based emacs implementation,
there is a tab key that you can put into a keymap (as the previous
note shows).
So, it might be that you can do a special dance and get the two to be
bound separately. But I think it will become a maintenance problem.
I would try saving the current binding of tab. Set your new binding
for control-I. And then restore the original binding of tab. I'm
assuming the default binding of tab is somehow an indirection to the
binding of control-i but I don't know the details.
I'm not sure this helps...
