Except that it would not correctly handle the case where the user has bound S-tab to something. The answer is (as has been mentioned on this list a while back) that terminal-escape-sequences should not be handled with function-key-map but with a new map placed before function-key-map (and applied unconditionally, like key-translation-map but unlike function-key-map).
