I can now confirm that if I install the git master branch and launch
emacs from the installed bin directory, I can navigate the lucid
menu-bar via the arrow keys and the mouse. However if I launch emacs from
the git/src directory then I can not navigate the menu-bar via the
arrow keys. I can only navigate via the mouse.
It also explains why I thought the effect only occurred in the second
pre-test and not the first. I remember that I installed the first but
not the second.

It could an artefact of my system: 4.9.0-14-686-pae #1 SMP Debian
4.9.246-2 (2020-12-17) i686 GNU/Linux. Perhaps someone needs to confirm
the finding on a different system.

I'm not confident I can bisect, having never done it. It depends on the
available times, though, but certainly I will try.
