I was unable to reproduce the issue unfortunately. I opened Chrome, then Windows Terminal 1.17 > Settings > Actions, then changed the "Open Settings" action to Ctrl+; and saved. Ctrl+Shift+2 still worked.

Do you have any extension in Chrome that might cause this issue?

Does this only happen with certain actions? I idly wonder if newTab, index:1 doesn't work in the SUI (some actions don't, but I thought newTab should...).

Can you bind other ctrl+shift+num keys to actions in the SUI/?

DO you have anything else running? PowerToys? AutoHotKey? Anything that might try to bind a global hotkey or install a keyboard hook?

ctrl+shift+2 is interesting, because that should be ctrl+@ on a en-us keyboard, which is often encoded as NUL, but that's probably not the issue here.....

Other numbers works fine. Just ctrl+shift+2 does not work completely with chrome open. Even when binded with default settings it won't open profile 1 in new tab because key press is not recognized. As soon as i close chrome it works (no need to restart terminal). I will try disabling extensions in chrome one by one to see if that will change anything.
