It might or might not be possible for Emacs to be fixed in this regard. Consider filing a bug report. Emacs developers will clarify whether they consider this a bug. Perhaps such a limitation should be documented, to save wondering by users - dunno. FWIW, I see the same thing on Windows, in Emacs 20 through 24. Emacs doesn't seem to receive the key combination at all - `open-dribble-file' doesn't record it. There might be nothing that Emacs can do about this. Dunno.
