Switching to bash allows the combinations to work. Even sshing to another host where bash is my default allows it to work. Which sounds quite odd because zsh must be accepting the key codes and sending them on through the ssh tunnel.

That isn't the way that it works. Once you start a program (such as ssh), the shell isn't involved in directing the input or output between your terminal and that program. Other than some special cases for control keys which send signals, character input goes directly from your terminal to whatever program you are using at the time.
