Actually, the problem is not caused by this at all. It's caused by another
problem: the way `nomenus' was implemented in Emacs-20 was that any binding
that had a "menu-item" shape (either old-style or new-style) was considered
as a menu binding and was thus not listed in the shortcuts.
I wanted to change that so that "Edit => Text Properties => Face => Bold"
shows the "M-g b" shortcut (even though the M-g prefix uses the HierarKey
thingy to display a "menu in the minibuffer", which relies on menu-items
as well, which is why the M-g b shortcut is missing in Emacs-20).
So now, the problem is "what is a menu binding" ?
In Emacs-21, I defined it as "a key sequence whose first key is
a symbol". Clearly, it's pretty arbitrary as well, since as is seen
in Andrew's example, it rules out "f8 d", but it was chosen because
it correctly rules out the menu-bar bindings, the tool-bar bindings,
and the FOO-down-mouse-N popup menus bindings.
The offending lines are in keymap.c:
/* if (nomenus && !ascii_sequence_p (this)) */
if (nomenus && XINT (last) >= 0
&& !INTEGERP (Faref (this, make_number (0))))
/* If no menu entries should be returned, skip over the
keymaps bound to `menu-bar' and `tool-bar' and other
non-ascii prefixes like `C-down-mouse-2'. */
continue;
