Something up with a. Try with some other char, l for example,
it works. BTW I realized the ?\ isn't needed, like one does
just [l] for a one-element vector. No idea why a doesn't work.

It is described in the tutorial:

  https://dataswamp.org/~incal/tty-emacs-keys.txt

I you follow the links to the example files, you see I get
even very exotic combinations to works, for example
Meta Shift Return.

That said, let me ask, how do you define a "true modifier" in
Emacs? I mean not just for keys that previously don't work,
but in general?
