Actually, POSIX ttys can transmit "any" key combo, including M-C-~, but
for those combos like C-~ which aren't part of ASCII, they need to use
some ad-hoc escape sequence.  By default xterm has no such ad-hoc
sequence for C-~, so it doesn't work.  You can add such an ad-hoc
sequence to xterm and then add the corresponding back-mapping in
lisp/xterm.el, after which C-~ should work just fine as well.
