New data:
- On XP, without administrator privileges.
- I copied a shortcut from the Start Menu to "C:\usr".
- I gave it a hotkey.
- It did not work.
- I deleted the copied shortcut.
- I gave the original shortcut the same hotkey.
- It worked.
- I got rid of the hot key in the Start Menu.
- I copied a shortcut from the Start Menu to
  "C:\Documents and Settings\My_User_Name".
- I gave it the same hotkey.
- It did not work.

So it seems as if Windows may not be paying attention setting of hotkeys
is reproducible at least under some circumstances.
