When I type cmd+opt+) with the French layout I get cmd+} because opt 
+) = }
Therefore there is no cmd+opt+) on the French layout in contrast to  
the US-layout ( there is a cmd+opt+) and a cmd+opt+} )
In the German layout there is cmd+opt+) but no cmd+opt+}
Ask Apple why they map the keyboard this way ;)
