Public bug reported:

Intrepid: Global shortcuts which use <Control> as their only modifier
key do not work, with some exceptions.

Pressing any such combination twice in rapid succession usually works on
the second press (but not the first).

If the shortcut-registering application has focus, the combination
always works.

QT applications (Amarok, Katapult) and the GNOME Keyboard Shortcuts
control panel are confirmed affected.

This is confirmed to occur with both Compiz and Metacity.

Searching using gconf-editor strongly suggests that conflicting
shortcuts are not registered.

This issue started recently (on or about the 26th of September), and may
be related to a package update.
