[C-tab] is a vector containing a single symbol, which represents the

Control-tab pseudo-function key.  "\C-tab" is a string containing 3
characters: Control-t, a, and b.

BTW, "\C-\t" would be a string containing a single character, Control-TAB,
except that only ASCII characters and Meta-modified ASCII characters can be
elements of a string (see the Init Rebinding node of the Emacs manual).
