On Windows builds, only the M-x tmm-menubar step is broken, with the 
order in the displayed menu bar being different then in the tmm-menubar 
popup. This is *only* about text based menus, not the native platform 
ones.

I think this may be getting mixed up with my feature proposal on 
emacs-devel? I did find this bug when working on making the TTY menus 
work with xterm-mouse-mode and they both affect menus. The patches I 
attached in that thread follow the pattern you described.

This bug report is separable from the rest of that feature. It's also 
much smaller, just two lines. :) This fixes the current behavior of the 
command tmm-menubar-mouse, which is bound to <menu-bar> <mouse-1>.
