No. A new buffer comes up, but not with the contents of the menu (as I would expect), but with this:
---
Press PageUp key to reach this buffer from the minibuffer.
Alternatively, you can use Up/Down keys (or your History keys) to change
the item in the minibuffer, and press RET when you are done, or press the
marked letters to pick up your choice. Type C-g or ESC ESC ESC to cancel.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
There are no possible completions of what you have typed.

I was hoping to have the menu-bar invisible, but to still make use of it when needed (via the buffer popup).
