[Jason] It's a convenient pattern, but the consequences can be disconcerting if the user isn't expecting it. Do we have any quantitative (or even well informed anecdotal) evidence of how consistently it's implemented?
This discussion raises again the problem of providing proper help text for keyboard bindings. The aria-keyshortcut property is a start in the right direction, but (as I think we agree) more work is needed to make keyboard bindings perspicuous.
