System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 431.70

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 75), branch: master, commit date: 2019-07-29 14:47, hash: f6cb5f5449
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
This is kind of difficult to explain, especially having spent the better part of the past 8 hours zeroing in on this bug but here goes- the 3D View (global) keymap is not reliable when used in the addon keyconfig. Often, a keymap item added to this keymap will simply not show up in the input editor after registration. As an alternative, the 3D View Generic keymap is the go-to solution for addons that need to bind a key in the 3D Viewport globally, but I've noticed some really bizarre behavior that can only really be seen for yourself. After binding some keymap items in the 3D View Generic keymap, I ran the attached script. Both tests should be identical because they both do the exact same thing. In my test, I got different results.

Test script:

import bpy

wm = bpy.context.window_manager
kc = wm.keyconfigs.addon
        
print("Direct check:")
km = kc.keymaps["3D View Generic"]
for kmi in km.keymap_items:
    print(f"{km.name}: {kmi.idname}")
    
    
print("\nVague Search:")
for km in kc.keymaps:
    if km.name == '3D View Generic':
        for kmi in km.keymap_items:
            print(f"{km.name}: {kmi.idname}")

Output:

Direct check:
3D View Generic: wm.call_menu_pie
3D View Generic: view3d.rotate
3D View Generic: view3d.move
3D View Generic: view3d.zoom
3D View Generic: eldee.drop_selection
3D View Generic: eldee.select_objects

Vague Search:
3D View Generic: wm.call_menu_pie
3D View Generic: view3d.rotate
3D View Generic: view3d.move
3D View Generic: view3d.zoom

Figured it out- the missing keymap items were added to a version of they 3D View Generic keymap that has space_type='EMPTY' rather than 'VIEW_3D'
