I don't know the answer.  I tried Ctrl+Alt+Shift+5 in emacs under X11, 
and it seems to work fine, i.e., it is recognized as C-M-%.  I also 
tried it in an xterm window ('emacs -nw'), and it fails there but in a 
different way than in mintty: emacs sees it as C-%.

Maybe Andy (mintty author/maintainer) can explain what's going on.
