Thanks for explanation Gabor! 

Just looked to see if help pages could be improved.  
Not so clear where.  Maybe:

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/01/06140200.html

To assign a key for all applications, choose the %PRODUCTNAME radio button in
the top right corner. Common shortcuts, such as Ctrl+X and Ctrl+P, are found
here. 

<note>
Keys assigned for a particular %PRODUCTNAME application override the shortcut
setting in %PRODUCTNAME.
</note>


Meanwhile -- in further testing -- I think I can see better what motivated the
original report.  I think there may be a bug with "updating" of the shortcut
keys in the menus. (which I misinterpreted as a "protected" key).

If you are willing, please try these two simple tests to illustrate the
problem:

Test 1

1. Assign "Customize" to Alt-F11, then confirm that Alt-F11 appears in Tools
menu.
2. Use Alt-F11 to open Customize dialog again and assign Alt-F9 to "Customize" 
(now Alt-F9 appears in Tools menu).
3. Use Alt-F11 (or Alt-F9) to open Customize again and Delete Alt-F9

Actual:  no shortcut shown in menu
Expected:  Alt-F11
(same thing happens -- no shortcut shown -- if you delete Alt-F11)

Test 2

1. Assign Options to Alt-F12 (in Writer, shows Alt-F12 in Tools menu)
2. Assign Options to Alt-F9  (see in Tools menu that Options is now Alt-F9)
3. Assign Customize to Alt-F9  (see that Customize and Options are Alt-F9)
(expected Options to show Alt-F12 -- which does actually work).
