First of all, if point is on a menu line, then choose that menu
item.  That much we all agree on.

Further, if point is on a line starting with whitespace and
containing some non-whitespace text, this could be a continuation
line for a menu line.

Here's an algorithm:

IF point is on a menu line
THEN
    choose that menu item
ELSE
    IF point is on a line that starts with whitespace and contains
       non-whitespace characters
    THEN
        WHILE point is on a nonblank line starting with whitespace
        DO
            move up one line
        END
        IF point is on a menu line
        THEN
            choose that menu item
        FI
    FI
FI

What do people think?
