I've got the same problem (Gentoo-linux with gtk-2.4). This fault is
either a bug or the gtk developers decided that accelerators to hidden
menu items is not a valid way to code. I'm not sure, but probably the
latter is correct.

To work around this issue, you could add in your own keypress event
handlers. When you get a hit for a key that should accelerate to the
hidden menu item, just go to the callback directly and return TRUE,
otherwise FALSE.
