IIRC, and I believe that was pointed out in this thread as well, is that these keypresses are handled in the same way by the same part of the X server. If C-A-Bs works, so will C-A-F2 to drop you at a vc. Through past experience, I have never found an instance (since moving from XFree86 to Xorg) where the Xserver was wedged in a way that switching to a vc did not work, but C-A-Bs did. I have seen plenty of X lockups (Xorg intel driver issues in F10) in the last few months and not a single one of those were resolvable by C-A-Bs.
