Why doesn't M-C-s work for me?

<left Alt>-<left Ctrl>-s (will abbreviate as M-C-s from here-on) does
nothing for me. Does anyone have any thoughts on why it might not be working?
More info:
I get no action in either an xterm or an emacs window. If I use right
Alt, or right Control, or both, I get the expected action.
In emacs, describe-key can see C-s, M-s, C-M-a but cannot see C-M-s,
it does not react at all. Likewise, in an Xterm, cat -v can see
control a: ^A
control s: ^S
meta control a: ^[^A
but shows nothing for meta control s.
xev shows the expected events for everything mentioned above except
that pressing "s" while "Control_L" and "Meta_L" are down produces no
event.
My current setup:
Dell Optiplex 780
Win XP sp3
$ uname -srvmo

I have the left control and the caps lock keys swapped with a registry edit:
