I finally got it to work! I had to base it on this:

   http://www.gizmolabs.org/~ecronin/w/Main/OmniWebShortcuts

My Google Lucky shortcut is now:

   http://www.google.com/search?ie=utf8&oe=utf8&q=%@&btnI=I'm+Feeling 
+Lucky

Note that there is no HTML encoding here [1] and the "I'm Feeling  
Lucky" button text is at the very end. Not sure why that would make a  
difference for me and nobody else, but at least it works for me now.

Thanks to everyone for their advice.
