An interesting thing, I tried to troubleshoot this issue according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting , and right after the first step, i.e. killing gnome-settings-daemon, everything became fine: gnome-settings-daemon started again automatically, but all hotkeys work smoothly, no matter what window I fire them from, they work. Does that mean that this bug is in gnome-settings-daemon or I need to carry out some more investigation? Well, at least I have some kind of workaround now.
