Current theory: there is a bug in the *.el file with binding that
key.

For example, I just did

        M-: (global-set-key [C-a C-b] 'foo) RET

And now C-h C-b prints

        <C-a> <C-b>     foo

Here, you can see that it is interpreting the keys as a sequence of
funnily-named function keys.  (You can see from the <...>.)

But in older versions of Emacs, you would have seen

        C-c C-b         foo

instead, and would've been none the wiser.

The correct Lisp would have been:

    M-: (global-set-key [?\C-a ?\C-b] 'foo) RET

Can you look in the *.el file to see how it is defining the keys?
