Perhaps that's because you are loading contrib/lisp/org-interactive-query.el,
which redefines keys in the agenda mode map:

(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map "=" 'org-agenda-query-clear-cmd)
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map "/" 'org-agenda-query-and-cmd)
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map ";" 'org-agenda-query-or-cmd)
(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map "\\" 'org-agenda-query-not-cmd)

HTH,
