Bug: C-h c gives the wrong answer for a menu item, and fails to display

Afternoon, Emacs!

Emacs 22.0.50 on a Linux tty:

Do:

M-`   ; to open a menu buffer
o     ; activate "options"
C-h c ; This prompts with "Describe key (or click menu item): "
C

This puts the message "C runs the command tmm-shortcut" in the *Messages*
buffer.  This is wrong:

(i) The correct answer is, of course, "C runs the command cua-mode".
Saying "tmm-shortcut" is just as true and just as helpful as saying
"C-M-a runs the command eval".

(ii) The message should appear in the echo area.  It doesn't.  Instead,
there is a short pause (2 seconds) before the echo area reverts to its
previous prompt (the one asking for a menu option).
