What I was remembering with the Playback View may not be related: I
made this change
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=denemo.git;a=commitdiff;h=e8f0449
398a2c793589db82b26847abd1141ff42

which avoided a problem with the display of glyphs from the emmentaler
font after the playback view was used. (In turn, why the Playback View
needs to setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") I not sure but I think it is for
parsing an SVG file, probably avoiding a different representation of
the decimal point in some locales).

So, I don't think this is related to your problem - sorry about the
noise!

I've been digging around, and I can't see any sign that environment
variables have a role in the keyboard assignments. One thing to check
would be what happens when you type into a text-editor inside Denemo -
for example if you run the command Score->Comment you get an editor for
writing a comment on the score. Does this receive and display the
correct key strokes?
