Here is the problem:

 DEBUG[7 - dbg]  CODE=10   KEYSYM="exclam"   KEY=#\1   MODIFIERS=(:SHIFT)   
                                   ^^^^^^                         ^^^^^^

You have to say explicitly that you press the shift key and this is
not yet allowed in the info mode menu.

Neither do I. I'll rewrite the keysym part instead.
