I think I've found a relevant lead: It turns out that simply clicking the OK
button in the keyboard shortcuts dialog after registering a new shortcut is
_not_ enough for the shortcut to become persistently effective.

What must additionally be done is to go through the 'Manage Schemes' ->
'Current Schemes' -> 'More actions' -> 'Save shortcuts to Scheme' sequence in
order for the newly registered shortcut to become persistently effective. If
this isn't done, then the shortcut is weirdly in effect only for the first
invocation and is then lost - even though it shows up in the dialog (!). I
think that's very misleading.

I can now delete messages using my Mutt like single key ('D') shortcut.

Not sure if this is documented. I'd like to keep this bug open until either I
find relevant documentation or if not, use this bug as a basis for the
documentation to be created.
