It's a thought, but:

- I can't seem teach epiphany to use an unmodified s as a menu shortcut when I
  try. The key has to be modified (ctrl+s or similar).
- Doesn't explain why the problem only appears once logged into gmail.
- Doesn't explain why disabling the "new" gmail interface fixed the
  issue. (Except, my sister now reports the issue is back..)

Hmm, this last makes me think you may have been right after all?
What would BA/Bmk44 cause epiphany to do if it were triggered?

OTOH, why is the problem apparently not happening now, and what about my
points above?

PS, I tried putting the same line into my epiphany config, and cannot
reproduce the 's' problem.

PPS, I removed the line from my sister's epiphany config remotely.
It appears to have fixed the issue, at least for now..
