In fact, I can't reproduce it exactly this way 100% reliably. Sometimes it sticks around, usually it doesn't. Trying again just now, but logging out instead of rebooting, it stayed, but the System Settings show that there is no shortcut for Maximize Vertically (but the shortcut does work). Rebooting after this logout-only trial kept the shortcut working, but not displaying in System Settings.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This sounds like a likely duplicate of bug 1063617. You could try to install gnome-shell and check if that bug also happens with that; if not, it's a rather definitive duplicate.
