Short description of error
When creating a custom keymap based on the industrial keymap, the shortcuts for switching between vertex, edge and face select (1,2 and 3) don't work after restarting Blender. It seems that the identifier ic_keymap.mesh_select_mode isn't recognized which results in Warning: property 'type' not found in keymap item 'OperatorProperties' being displayed on the console. When the preferences are opened after restarting Blender the shortcut entry doesn't display the correct title or properties in the custom keymap, however switching to the industrial keymap and then back makes it work again.

The cause of the problem seems to be that the operator IC_KEYMAP_OT_mesh_select_mode is only registered when the industrial keymap is loaded.

Correct shortcut in the industrial keymap

Shortcut in the custom keymap after creation

Shortcut in the custom keymap after restarting Blender

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Select the industrial keymap in the preferences
Create a new keymap using the plus icon next to the keymap dropdown
(Optional) Switch to edit mode and verify that the shortcuts 1, 2 and 3 work as intended
Close Blender, then start it again

Switch to edit mode and verify that the shortcuts `1`, `2` and `3` do not work

This could also be considered a design decision, however it's definitively not obvious to the user why this wouldn't work.

This is an issue. @ideasman42 If we ported this to Blender proper, this would not be an issue. Should we do that?

Right, keymaps defining their own operators won't work, we should make this behavior possible without additional operators.
