George Reilly has just explained that Ctrl-6, Ctrl-2, Ctrl-- are
special-cased in Windows (which I didn't know). Perhaps there is
also some special casing for Ctrl-1 ... sorry, I don't know.

Sorry for the POV "weird" comment. It is true that I don't make
much use of key mappings (I certainly have some, but not for
buffer switching). Sometimes when I'm working on a particular
project I will put uppercase marks in files I want to quickly
return to. Or I might have a set of special mappings just for
the project (and I might use the keypad with stuff like <k1>).
I'm sure you don't need this tip, but FWIW there is a tip that
maps:
,l : list buffers
,b ,f ,g : go back/forward/last-used
,1 ,2 ,3 : go to buffer 1/2/3 etc

That is the sort of thing I would do given I can't use Ctrl-2
etc.
