But the solution is very simple when you know about it: Just trash the file "SearchGoogle.service" in ~/Library/Services. This removes the "Search Amazon" and "Search Google" items from the services menu -- whose shortcuts rule out the Mac OS X built-in shortcuts. Then log out and in again.
I dont' know which application installed this file. But couldn't Apple make sure that built-in shortcuts have higher priority than installed ones? They should.
[robg adds: Command-< is an interational version of the US keyboard's command-tilde (the < key on international keyboards is where we see our tilde) . I did a bit of digging, and it seems the SearchGoogle.service was installed by, perhaps not surprisingly, the SearchGoogle.Service service -- which I found by, ummm, searching Google for SearchGoogle.service.]
