I tried to replicate your configuration as best I could, since several
keys are absent from my keyboard that are required to activate the 4th
and 7th shift levels exactly as you describe, but to no avail: typing
Ctrl+Ω and Ctrl+ω continue to register as C-ω.  Last we heard, it wasn't
possible for you to compile Emacs from source.  If that has changed,
please build Emacs with xterm.c instrumented thus:

diff --git a/src/xterm.c b/src/xterm.c
index c8a43785564..5d4acb8f77b 100644
--- a/src/xterm.c
+++ b/src/xterm.c

+			  fprintf (stderr, "xkbtranslatekeysym produced: %td\n", nbytes);
 			  if (overflow)
 			    {

then type each of the two keystrokes once, and send us the two lines
printed.  Thanks.
