I just tried with a current installation, still happens.

For example in GNUMail, if you select a couple of unread mails and 
press SHIFT-ALT-U, those mails are supposed to be marked as read. 
However, it only works if no menu is open. That is, in this particular 
case, you will either have to select the 'Mark as (un)read' menu entry 
with your mouse pointer, OR leave and close the (sub)menu(s) your 
currently 'in' and then press SHIFT-ALT-U.

That is just one example, none of the other key short cuts seem to 
work either, if any menu is left open. And it's not specific to 
GNUMail either. (I just use GNUMail as an example because it's the one 
application I use most and is currently running, so I can double check 
what I'm trying to explain).
