System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 19045)
Graphics card: RTX 3080

Blender Version
Broken: 4.0.2 (Tested with 4.1 and issue still present)
Worked: 3.6.7 (Tested it just now)

Short description of error
After "Import Existing Settings" from Blender 3.4.1 when starting Blender 4.0.2 and restarting the loaded hotkeys (for addons specifically) are partially reset. From what I can tell its not all addon hotkeys being reset but I don't know if there's a pattern to it or random, seems to be the same each time at least.

I installed Blender 3.6.7 now to test it and loading previous settings works as expected (loading from 3.4.1 to 3.6.7)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
The attached video shows me opening Blender 4.0.2 without any settings, loading previous settings from 3.4.1, showing hotkeys and then restarting and then the hotkeys have been reset.

Install an older version of Blender (I've have tested 3.4.1 and 3.6.7)
Set a few custom hotkeys for addons (KeKit and Machin3Tools in my case)
Install Blender 4.0.2
Start Blender 4.0.2 and load previous settings from 3.4.1
Look at keymap (for me they're correct and working at this step)
Restart Blender 4.0.2
Look at keymap (hotkeys are now incorrect)

Keymap: Context operators are broken when running Reload Scripts #113309

Addons often add hotkeys as soon as they are enabled.
The configuration of these hotkeys is not expected to be saved together with the Blender keymap, (as they would be broken if the addon is removed).
This is why many addons place these settings in the addon's own configuration panel.

But even so, if a user customizes the hotkey of an addon operator, it should in fact be imported along with the keymap.

The steps do not mention editing the keymap.
Did you edit the hotkeys of these operators? If not, this appears to be a problem with the addons.

These are custom hotkeys yes, and it works as expected in 3.6.7 where it imports (and keeps) the custom hotkeys even after restart

This appears to be a problem with addons.
I can confirm the same issue when importing a custom keymap from the Mesh: Snap Utilities Line addon.
It appears that the custom keymap is adding instead of replacing the addon's original keymap items.

Mesh: Snap Utilities Line registers the keymap using this code:
mesh_snap_utilities_line/__init__.py#L117-L121

Could it be an error to change keyconfigs.default and keyconfigs.addon?
Even though I created the code for this addon, I'm not familiar enough with keymaps to know what to do here.

@ideasman42, can you shed some light here?

Downloaded Blender 4.1 to test and the bug still happens, not very surprising I suppose.
I also tested exporting (manually from the keymap preferences) the hotkeys from 3.4.1 and importing them into 4.1 but the issue occurs regardless.
