You're right. Quote from
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-types.html#menu-type-popup
"Provide an access key for each item. However, to enhance their spatial
efficiency and readability, *do not show keyboard shortcuts in popup
menus*."

But somehow it must work. E.g. gimp displays shortcuts in its popups.
