Does the X server in Rawhide eat Control-Space?

After updating everything on my laptop to Rawhide (forced to by
usrmove) I noticed that emacs was no longer responding to
Control-Space for setting the mark.

It seems like the X server itself is eating this key combination,
since emacs works fine in a virtual console, but doesn't work in any
terminal or directly under X.

  xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.11.99.901-3.20120124.fc17.x86_64

xev output from me pressing Control-space is here:

It seems a bit odd that X would capture this key combination ...
