The situation you are talking about almost never happens, because
last-nonmenu-event is almost never nil.  So the lack of complaints
does not surprise me.

And you haven't answered my question:

Please answer this, I think there's some factor here we need to
understand.  Right after startup, last-input-event should be nil.
