Thanks for the info, I've forwarded that to upstream dev and will try to
reproduce it myself. Not sure if it's related to Xorg, GTK+, vte or
xfce4-terminal, and if the xmodmap is relevant, but will investigate. 

At least here, menu key works fine here.

It might be interesting to start a strace when pressing the menu key and
stopping it just after that, so one can see what happens.
