Reassigning to general component as I cannot find anything for global shortcuts. KWin is not (yet) responsible for those.

Interestingly *this* combos work with shift invocation (differen from tab / used to)

I found the same behavior when trying to assign a shortcut to "Meta+ç" (ie, no action when executing the shortcut). However, It does work if I mix these keys with shift (ie, "Meta+shift+ç" works as expected).

One likely has to restart kglobalaccel after starting the session since the keyboard map change wasn't caught.
Comment 5 Thomas Lübking 2015-10-18 12:52:07 UTC 
most likely somehow a dupe of or related to bug #350816, being https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-30911

experimental workaround, feel free to try https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/125786/
