Yes, I am doing exactly that: lowering my expectations.  The first word
of this bug report is no-toolkit after all.

It does not pop up menus in the alien widget toolkit sense.

It does pop up menus in the emacs sense, i.e. the *Completions* buffer

Maybe there is a more precise terminology to distinguish the two cases?
