A quick grep for `grab' in the emacs source tree points to:

But there seems to be more work necessary, as the patch above only
queues the keys, so that they are processed when the menu is released.
I would expect them to be flushed in some way.

Someone more with more knowledge about X11 should have a look at how
this is usually done.
