Thanks to your help I found the cause. It seems that other applications
can register their own shortcuts by installing files to
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/keybindings. Because Ubuntu 14.04 uses
Unity Control Center by default the keybindings installed into
g-c-c/keybindings are ignored by u-c-c. In u-c-c/keybindings there are
symlinks to the files in g-c-c, but the metacity shortcuts were not
symlinked, so they don't appear.

They come from the following file:
/usr/share/gnome-control-center/keybindings/50-metacity-system.xml

which is shipped by metacity:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/metacity/tree/src/50-metacity-system.xml.in

I just checked and the file is present on both systems. I have now
manually created the necessary symlink and now the shortcuts appear in
the shortcuts tab of u-c-c. I am building gnome-panel and metacity both
from git, but I think thats not the reason. I also have the original
metacity package installed, so u-c-c should pick that up and create the
symlinks?
