Yes, I can reproduce this on text-terminals. It appears to be due to
the following change:
2009-10-19 Stefan Monnier <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>
* bindings.el (function-key-map): Map C-@ to C-SPC if C-@ is unbound.
which added the following to bindings.el:
;; Hitting C-SPC on text terminals, usually sends the ascii code 0 (aka C-@),
;; so we can't distinguish those two keys, but usually we consider C-SPC
;; (rather than C-@) as the "canonical" binding.
(define-key function-key-map [?\C-@] [?\C-\s])
Stefan, could you take a look? I don't know your original motivation
for this change, so I don't know how to fix it.
