Great. :)

No, a bug. :-/

$ grep Control *.xml | grep Alt | tail -2
evolution-comp-editor.xml:        accel="*Control*Alt*s"
evolution-mail-message.xml:     accel="*Control**Alt*s"

$ egrep "\*Control\*\*(Alt|Shift)\*" *.xml | wc -l
17
$ egrep "\*Control\*(Alt|Shift)\*" *.xml | wc -l
1

Unlucky you used the only buggy accelerator setting as sample. That
particular one doesn't even work. Each modifier needs to be surrounded
by asterisks, so *Control**Alt*p is correct.
