I do observe the exactly same on a HP elitebook 840 G6 with the phone pickup and hangup keys and other HP fancy keys i usually do not need. They either mapp to left_ctrl left_meta or left_ctrl elft_alt.

Yes!!! whenever i hit inbetween the two keys the X-Server thinks I requested him to zap. Looking at the event code table printed by evtest it seems as if the code 101 = 0x65 is not used or mapped. I tried to make an appropriate udev rule to map 0x65 and 0x66 to some key but this is not applied thus i still stuck with having to too close keys acting as ctrl alt bksp which is the good old Xorg zap combination which i do not want to disable. But whatever i try exempt reboot yet to map missing codes to keys does not work. neither udev method nor setkeycodes in xorg works. nor reboot. It is a bit unluckily annoying the situation, at least i know to watchout when hitting backspace key not to accidentially also hit phone hangup key.
