Nope, doesn't make a difference.
But Drew's suggestion to bind `echo-keystrokes' to nil helps.
Interestingly, the following menu item shows the problematic echo
message. When I bind `echo-keystrokes' to nil, I get the "One-Buffer-
One-Frame-Mode dis/enabled" message which is output by what menu-bar-
make-mm-toggle produces. So it seems like the keystroke echo message
even overwrites the previous (much better) message.
The menu item I'm talking about is defined like this:
(define-key-after menu-bar-options-menu [oneonone]
(menu-bar-make-mm-toggle
one-buffer-one-frame-mode
"Display Buffers in Separate Frames"
"Open a new Frame (window) for each new buffer."
(:visible (boundp 'one-buffer-one-frame-mode)))
'edit-options-separator)
Other entries, e.g., save-place, behave differently. Here, the "en/
disabled" message appears after the keystrokes echo. This one is
defined with `menu-bar-make-toggle' (in menu-bar.el) rather than with
the minor-mode version.
Note that the minibuffer must be empty to reproduce this (see use of
Vecho_keystrokes in the code).
Of course, the echo-keystrokes solution can't be the final word for me.
Echo-keystrokes is meant to be for unfinished keyboard commands. The
menu item selection is a finished command, however.
Does it behave like this in other ports (I'm a Mac guy) as well?
Sounds almost like a bug in either the Carbon port or even in the
general implementation.

It may perhaps be the show-help-function variable, though it
defaults to tooltip-show-help-function or tooltip-show-help
which won't echo such a message. Does this help?
(setq show-help-function 'ignore)

After I select a menu-item, the path through the keymaps leading to
that item is shown in the echo area, for example "menu-bar options
highlight-paren-mode". That's rather uninformative to me as a user
and I'd like to turn it off. I haven't been able to find an option or
even the place in the code that shows me this output.
How do I turn it off?
Or, where in the code is the output made?
Thanks for any answer!

Does binding (or customizing) `echo-keystrokes' to nil help? That will turn
off echoing for more than just menu key sequences, however.
