Fixed, thanks.

This is a little tricky to implement.  There are several menu items that
would benefit from this behavior, but finding the marked files is
currently rather expensive, and I don't like the prospect of doing it
for every menu item, each time the user opens the menu.  This will have
to wait for a Dired revamp.
