The bug was in popup-menu, not x-popup-menu; the fix was to rely on
x-popup-menu to do the right thing.

But it turns out popup-menu doesn't do what I want anyway; it executes
the menu keymap as a GUI menu, not a keyboard menu. Which makes sense,
given the name :).

How do I invoke a keyboard menu from lisp?
