I assume you are referring to AltGr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key
In Windows Ctrl+Alt is interpreted as AltGr.
But the opposite, as seen in Blender, doesn't seem to necessarily be true.

However, this same behavior is seen in other applications, so I wouldn't consider it a bug.

Not sure.. Ctr+Alt = AltGr ? And Ctr+Alt = Ctr+AltGr ?
In some case is sense the first key as Ctr+Alt or Alt+Ctr the what about Left Ctr+AltGr or Right Ctrl + AltGr?

There was proposal RCS to reverse shorctus to open more options. It's imposible then (or in general?)?

This appears to happen for particular keyboard layout (in Windows at least)
We've a report and patch too for this issue:
T68256: ALT and ALT GR are not the same in Spanish Spain keyboard distribution
D13876: Fix T68256: Treat AltGr as Alt in Keymaps

@harley: You can have both "English (United States) on US Keyboard" AND "English (United States) on United States - International keyboard" and switch between on the Taskbar near
the clock. The former treats your Alt as Alt, the latter as AltGr.
