Thanks for the report,
usually if a hotkey grab fails, it's because another instance is still running. I'd be interested in seeing the crash log however, would you please run:

apport-bug -p unity-2d-panel -u 897367

This will find the crash logs on your machine (in /var/crash), upload them to Launchpad which will process them and attach them to this bug.

EOL have been reached, so no more maintenance. If that issue still exist, then report again using ubuntu-bug.
