mintty and readline mapping

mintty 0.4.4 on CYGWIN_NT-5.1 SRSMBPROWIN 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-08-20 10:56 i686 Cygwin

I'm trying to map ctrl-tab in mintty and can't seem to get it working. I've Googled bash and key bindings, key mapping, etc., but haven't found anything that helps with the problem.

I'm trying to bind ctrl-tab to reverse-menu-complete. 
>cat .inputrc
# use ctrl-left/right to jump between words
";5C": forward-word
";5D": backward-word

# enable inline completion
TAB: menu-complete
";5I": reverse-menu-complete

The ctrl-left/right mappings above work (that took me a while by itself -- those keys map with "\e[5C" and "\e[5D"  on OS X, my other available Unix right now). The ctrl-tab key displays ";5I" (that's a capital-eye) when pressed, which makes it look like the above is tantalizingly close.

What am I missing? If this is a generic mapping issue, feel free to point me to somewhere else to look.

Thanks,

Vince
