It's because if you try to evaluate the string "\C-;", Emacs throws (error 
"Invalid modifier in string").  I installed the attached patch to use the 
keybinding that you wanted.  This should fix the bug, so I'm closing the bug report.

Hi,

(define-key ctl-x-map "C-;" 'comment-line)

is missing the backslash, and should be

(define-key ctl-x-map "\C-;" 'comment-line)
