The code which sets up the escape mappings for those terminals could
set up an explicit direct mapping for "escape-sequence -> backtab"
(bypassing the S-tab step) couldn't they?
I think so. In effect, this would mean deciding that Emacs should
always deal with backtab, never with S-tab. (We would want
function-key-map to map S-tab into backtab also, to ensure that this
is true even on systems that produce S-tab directly.)
That could be part of the solution to this problem.

Except that it would not correctly handle the case where the user has bound
S-tab to something.
That is true, but we'd just tell the users that nowadays they
should bind backtab because Emacs no longer uses S-tab.
