 This just causes <num> to appear instead of switching tabs.

 I just double-checked, and the alt+<num> breakage was absent in 5.0a3, but
 backspace was still broken in 5.0a3. Both keys work fine in 4.5.3. For
 some reason, backspace and alt+<num> are only broken from within Google
 Docs. All other web editors/pads I've tested do not have any issues.
