There are a few ways to have your cake and eat it too:
- Move the conditional test into the command, so the menu entries are
  bound to the same command as the keys.  If you want the menu-entries
  to skip the test, then you can do that by checking the event(s) that
  triggered the command.
- You can use ":keys STRING" in the menu.  This will show "STRING" as
  the shortcut without checking if it indeed runs the same command.
- You can use dynamic key-bindings, i.e. instead of binding your key to
  (lambda () (interactive) (if foo (CMD))), bind it to
  (menu-item "" CMD :filter (lambda (cmd) (if foo cmd))).
