Part of the problem is that Windows users don't know about Ctrl+Page Up. Windows only uses Ctrl+Tab. And since everything else in the windows world also does (eg., Firefox, Chrome, Opera, all Windows programs, etc), users never learn that Ctrl+Page Up exists. I just saw a bug report somewhere else for a Linux application where the user was requesting a Ctrl+Tab shortcut and the developer told them about Ctrl+Page Up and the user had no idea this shortcut existed because he was a Windows veteran and thought Ctrl+Tab was the universal shortcut for moving between tabs.
A big impetus for this bug report is the fact that with Precise Ubuntu has essentially incorporated almost all the Windows keyboard-shortcuts into Ubuntu. Since every other shortcut is going to be virtually identical to Windows, people will assume Ctrl+Tab will move them between tabs. And when it doesn't they will assume no shortcut exists to do this (they will not consider that another keyboard shortcut exists to do the same thing).
