I think the current behavior of matching a key exactly is sensibly conservative.  Custom key building should be done explicitly.  You didn't actually press backtab; you pressed control, shift, and Tab.

You'll need to learn Emacs what you mean:

  (define-key function-key-map [C-S-iso-lefttab] [C-backtab])
