No, you can't but "broken" is a bit strong for this deficiency. We 
discussed how accelerators might be added in a platform independent way 
once before, but as usual noone is willing to propose a proper design 
and write the code.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "wrong moment". I have tried putting & 
characters at various positions in menu entries, and it seems to be 
consistently escaped so as not to conflict with Windows internal usage 
of unescaped & to denote accelerators.
