Hy,

If anybody experiencing the described keybindings related issue, looks 
following:
Existing your ~/.gconf/apps/metacity folder?
If yes, remove the ~/.gconf/apps/metacity folder and restart the system.
Before you doing this, what output seeing in terminal if you run 
gnome-control-center keyboard command?
Some time Metacity or any importanter component possible doing wrong 
gconf/gsettings data conversion. Usual when my machine happening similar 
keybindings related problems in GNOME3 fallback session I see following 
similar output result the gnome-control-center keyboard command in terminal:

I reported this issue oldest time with Metacity package since march 
15th, report link is following:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955876
If you seeing similar output when you run gnome-control-center keyboard 
command in terminal, click following direct link to mark this bug 
affects you too, and click the change button:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/955876/+affectsmetoo

If you not stored important custom settings with Metacity related, until 
this bug is not fixed, I suggest you add the startup manager a script 
with always remove the .gconf/apps/metacity folder if this folder are exist.
