I believe this is the general behavior of in-page accesskeys. They override all other shortcuts bound to the same modifiers.... The problem is that most people have no idea the Ctrl-u shortcut even exists on Mac textfields, and would be very surprised if it got triggered when they're just trying to trigger an accesskey.

They would learn the Ctrl-u shortcut at this time... The best solution would be to avoid this clash by choosing a different modifier for accesskeys. Otherwise this could be controlled by options.

The problem of keys overridden by other uses is also mentioned in bug 276295 (this one for FAYT).
