Hmm, that should work. I have some customizations to, e.g., write ⌘ 
and that works for me. For example:

~~~
{
	"^m" = {
		"^a"    = ("insertText:", "\U2318");  /* C-a     command (apple) */
	}
}
~~~

⌃m followed by ⌃a enters the ⌘-symbol.

If the keys are not swallowed by the NSTextView then MailMate key 
bindings should work, but it can be tricky to find something which is 
not swallowed. (I don't have much guidance for you on that.)
