Hi,

Your migration to Lion brought over a previous hot key preferences document. And this contains one bad key that wasn't updated.

- Quit System Preferences (if open)

- Delete this document to remove a carry-over mapping error.

- Then logout

Note: That this will delete any existing modified keyboard assignments. Re-assign changes manually.

Note2: This document is in your users preferences folder.

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
