Above is a video showing the problem.

How can I create a compound path out of several shapes by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+8 just once?

It has to do with the winding order rule you have configured. You are using the Non-Zero Winding Fill Rule, while you anticipate it to work like Even-Odd Fill Rule would. You can find this option in the Window → Attributes Panel, make sure you expand the panel from hamburger menu with Show All.
