Some terminals/keyboards ignore the state of the control key and simply
generate a space character when the spacebar is pressed.  Other
terminals/keyboards generate a NUL character (C-@, x0) when CTRL-Spacebar is
pressed.

It appears that, on your keyboard, CTRL-Spacebar generates a space character.
This means you are out of luck, unless your operating system and/or terminal
drivers support keyboard queries which can report back the state of the
control key on the terminal you are using.  If so, with a little work, you
should be able to hack the source code to GNU Emacs to return a NUL character,
instead of a space, when such an event takes place.
