I don't think that it is disabling it on purpose because sometimes it
works and sometimes it doesn't. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme
nor reason for when it does/ not.

The associated behaviour of the keystrokes ctrl+alt+backspace is already
set for logout, but again doesn't seem to work reliably. I don't know
if it is GDM or Gnome, because other DE/WM allow me to logout quite
reasonably and reliably.

Go figure - it has me stumped (which I admit is not difficult to do, but
even so).
