The above `lookup-key' call returns the tool bar map generated by
evaluating `tool-bar-make-keymap' (which is the :filter function for the
menu item bound to [tool-bar]).  The value returned by that function is
frame- and buffer-specific, but because it gets applied to the
replacement global map, it takes effect in all frames.

Unfortunately, currently we don't have a way to tell `lookup-key' to
just return the menu item without evaluating :filter functions.  The
following hack would work around this for 24.1, though it's a bit
black-magicky.

Stefan, AFAICT think you wrote the code in question.  Opinions?
