describe-key is also broken with context-menu-mode in a different way,
btw.  It generates the help buffer fine, but the last key in the
sequence is wrong.  It looks like read-key-sequence returns a numeric
index into the menu for that key, counting up from from the last menu
entry and starting at 1, and then the help buffer is interpreting that
number as a key.
