I played around with, and you can just ignore it. The behavior is the same whether or not that question mark is in there.

Putting a question mark before something in the address box searches it in Google instead of going to the address (if you type “?www.google.com”, you'll get a google search page, not the home page). So the ctrl + k (or ctrl + e) will mimik the other browser's search box function : by putting a question mark.
Otherwise ctrl + l or alt + d is what you actually seem to want to do…

It's probably because CTRL-K is the normal search key combo on Firefox. You're looking for CTRL-L, which takes you to the location bar, highlights the current URL, and lets you type in a new one. Or, as someone else said, ALT-D

I actually kinda like that they have the two different key combos, despite using only a single text entry box.

…by which I mean Alt-D, of course.
