What would be expected (in that specific example) is exactly what you
saw, which is nothing.

The #compdef line on a file read by compinit is a potential source of
a redefinition of key bindings.  Since you don't think there's a 
bindkey for ^k anywhere else, searching for a compdef line that was
causing it was the next obvious possibility.
