Is it possible that those keybindings are handled by your OS?

For example, I'm using following settings:

(custom-set-variables
 '(ns-command-modifier 'control)
 '(ns-right-command-modifier 'super))

When I press Command-TAB, Emacs doesn't "see" C-TAB (or s-TAB) because
Command-TAB is used by OS to switch to another application.

Use 'C-h k' to see what key is pressed and what command it invokes.
